Pegged joinery securely attaches legs to the apron’s mortise and tenon construction, while the warm finish belies the early pit-sawn boards retaining a storied patina underneath.

A beautiful and rare piece, this table is well-suited for everyday use in a dining room or breakfast room setting. See less
