The thick plank top rests above a single drawer with its original iron pull, while sturdy splayed legs and a low stretcher give the table its grounded, workmanlike presence. Tables like this would have served countless purposes in country homes, from simple meals to daily tasks, and today it works just as effortlessly as a side table, lamp table, or bedside piece. Sourced in Spain, c.1800, and left exactly as found, with honest wear that only adds to its character and warmth. See less
