Its thick rounded top displays the expressive grain and natural variations of old oak, creating a warm surface with an unmistakable sense of history.
A full width drawer provides convenient storage and retains a simple turned wooden pull. Below, robust turned legs feature the distinctive baluster and spool forms associated with the Louis XIII tradition. Substantial stretchers connect the legs on all four sides, reinforcing the table while contributing to its wonderfully sculptural profile.
Its generous proportions allow this antique table to serve beautifully beside a sofa or large armchair, as a breakfast room table, in a library, or as an intimate table for two. The removable top reflects the practical construction methods found in early French furniture and makes the piece easier to transport when necessary.
