French Oak Monastery Trestle Table, c. [1900 / 1950]

A substantial French oak monastery table, c. [1900 / 1950], with a thick solid oak top on a sculptural trestle base. The long central stretcher is joined with keyed through-tenons, locked by wooden wedges. A sandblasted finish opens up the grain and gives the oak a pale, natural tone. At 27" high it sits a little lower than a standard dining table, so it pairs best with chairs that have a seat height of 17" or less. Seats 6–8.
