19th century French Provincial Oak side table. — 19th century French Provincial Oak side table.

AA2364

The three plank front cross-banded top, probably taken from a front or top panel of an 18th century coffer or mule chest. In the country they made do with the materials they had on hand. That’s why some pieces are constructed using three – four different timbers. That’s what I love about country furniture, so many individual pieces.

The rectangular top, above a typically second half 19th century deep frieze, housing a think timbered pine lined drawer, with later but appropriate brass shield plate handles, covering the holes where the original turned wooden handles sat.
Resting on a square slight tapered leg.
