A wonderfully long, well faded French cherry-wood farmhouse table.

36th year in business and about the 6th farmhouse table I’ve stocked over 2.1m (Rare when original)

The deep three plank, cleated top, above a pleasantly plain narrow frieze, one end having a long drawer with original turned handle and warped central drawer divide.

Resting on square tapered legs.

H.76cm W.266cm D.84cm

Still to be re wax finished and disguise a few minor water marks.

Notice the natural flowing oxidisation under the top and skirts, all matching. Also the original hand crafted drawer runner and cross support. Simply beautiful!

Sometimes the back boards of a dresser base or chest of drawers or below the top of a farmhouse table grab my attention as much as the beautiful faded overall patina!

I remember facing an outstanding early 18th century English oak long dresser base to the front wall of my stand at the opening of a Sydney fair years ago. With spotlights on the back. As the back boards were simply outstanding ✨ Actually, I’m there right now. Like the first time you lay eyes on your beautiful partner, the amazing buzz I got! Well, not quite the same, but certainly amazing inner love for what I’m witnessing!

BTW, that dresser back boards visually affected a customer as I was expecting and sold in the first 30 minutes of opening! (I’ll go through my old photos once I close and do a story on antique fairs, displays, fun, joy, heartbreak and painful acquaintances… Should be interesting!)

Sometimes being a little out there can be a good thing ✨

The life of an aesthete…

The three plank top, above a plain frieze, resting on square tapered legs.

Note: Exceptional wild grain overall, with knots and fallen knots to the legs, a great talking point. (You won’t see this on a fancy 19th century French walnut, highly polished extension dining table) The raw beauty of French provincial pieces, same as unique English country furniture!

The smallest original French farmhouse table I’ve ever seen. Beautifully worn finish, showing the naturally oxidised oak grain.

Sold this table from my storeroom, was planning on taking to my apartment, but business is business!
So like much of my stock, didn’t make my showroom.

The set of six American oak windsor armchairs also sold, they suit so well and are very comfortable. I used one as my desk chair.
