French 19th Century Pine Artisans Workbench

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
A substantially constructed workbench with an exceptional patina that only develops after being the platform for over a century of artisanal projects. Three boards of solid 2-¼” thick pine, secured together by large rectangular treenail pegs, form the hardy work surface. One dowel hole in the top adds to the practical use of this piece as a workbench. A single floating drawer, fixed with a rustic iron pull, sits flush to the table surface for some hidden storage. The whole is constructed using mortise and tenon joinery, visible from every angle. Thick, square legs support the integrity of the top and lower stretcher. Circa 1870. The visible signs of wear it’s earned, along with age, give this functional piece an air of rustic sophistication to complete any space. Make sure to view the detailed images.
