Early 20th Century French Louis XIII Oak and Chestnut Monastery Dining Table
$17,000
About
This exceptional antique French refectory farm table was crafted from old-growth oak and chestnut timbers sourced from the Pyrenees region of southern France. Built around a remarkable single-plank top, the table showcases the beauty of centuries-old wood, with pronounced grain, natural fissures, knots, and tool marks that speak to its rural origins and honest craftsmanship. The expansive top bears a warm, richly developed patina, softened edges, and visible character consistent with generations of use in a farmhouse setting. The table rests on robust trestle supports with sculpted feet and a substantial stretcher, providing both visual strength and excellent structural stability. The bold, architectural base contrasts beautifully with the refined simplicity of the plank top, making this piece equally suited to traditional interiors, country houses, or more modern spaces seeking authentic European character. Designed to comfortably seat eight to twelve people, this antique refectory table is ideal as a dining table, harvest table, or large kitchen centerpiece. The piece is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, with old repairs, wear, and surface variations that enhance its authenticity rather than detract from it. A rare example of a true one-plank French farm table, it offers scale, history, and timeless presence. Dimensions: 98.5″ W x 32.25″ D x 29.75″ H
