A beautiful antique French *table de vendange*, or wine tasting table, sourced in France and dating to the late 19th or early 20th century.
Traditionally used in the wine-growing regions of France, vendange tables were designed to be both beautiful and practical. Their round tops provided a gathering place for vineyard meals and wine tasting during the grape harvest, while the ingenious tilt-top construction allowed the table to be folded upright and stored away when not in use.
This example has an especially beautiful architectural base, with a sculptural curved support, trestle feet, traditional joinery and a substantial round plank top. Generations of use have given the wood a wonderfully warm, dry patina, with variations in tone, old marks and wear that speak to the table's history rather than disguising it.
At just over 39 inches in diameter, it is an exceptionally versatile size - large enough to serve as an intimate dining or breakfast table while still working beautifully in a smaller kitchen, breakfast nook, wine room or as a dramatic center table. The simple silhouette and timeworn surface pair just as easily with contemporary interiors as with French country, Provençal and collected European spaces.
The tilt-top mechanism remains one of the most charming features of the piece, allowing the tabletop to be raised vertically in the traditional manner.
