French 19th Century Solid Oak Console-Dining Table

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
Dimensions: 30” H x 67” W x 39 ¼” D

A rare, metamorphic oak table from 18th century France, appearing to be a substantial console table that easily flips open–nearly doubling in depth–to use as an occasional serving table, center table, or for dining. The handmade solid oak construction bears the dark, textural grain patterns and patina developed over nearly two centuries of time & use. Forged iron pendant pulls dangling from the table apron guide the retractable wood rails that support the side planks (like leaves) unfolding from the table top, pivoting on hand-forged iron hinges that are thoughtfully shaped as a decorative feature beyond their function. A base of four, baluster-turned legs connected by flat stretchers in an H-formation anchors the table, giving it a sense of permanence and presence in any space. Cleaned, tightened, and polished with a French paste wax, this intriguing antique table is ready to join your interior. Please view the detailed images.

Closed: 30” H x 67” W x 19 ¾” D
