This vintage French farmhouse table dates from the 1920s–1930s and is constructed with a pine top and frame resting on turned beech wood legs.
The use of mixed woods reflects the practical craftsmanship typical of French rural furniture from the early 20th century — combining lightness with strength and visual warmth.

The pine top shows an attractive natural grain and a softly aged surface that has developed an authentic patina over time.
The base retains its original shellac finish in a warm amber tone, a characteristic treatment of the period that gives the wood a mellow hue and subtle sheen.

Lightweight yet stable, this table is easy to position and adaptable in use.
Its modest scale makes it suitable as a small dining table, writing desk, or occasional table within domestic or studio settings.
with its simplicity, balance, and natural materials, it sits comfortably in both rustic and contemporary interiors.
