Used by wine-makers throughout France and Europe, these specialized tables have a tilting mechanism that allows the top to be positioned in upright orientation – taking up less space in tightly-quartered cellars. A quick twist of the V-shaped support leg locks the top in place when flat. This unique table would be delightful as a center table to greet your guests, an occasional game table, as well as in an informal dining space like a breakfast nook. Please view the detailed images to see more as the cognac-toned leather shows its age through water rings and other darkened areas of patina.
