About

Bring understated provincial character to a dining room or kitchen with this handsome antique French trestle refectory monastery dining table, crafted in France circa 1880 from solid oak in the traditional French Provincial farmhouse style. The long rectangular plank top displays attractive end grain patterns, gentle surface wear, and visible wooden pegs, all bearing witness to decades of use and imparting a warm, timeworn patina prized in authentic country furniture. Forged iron diamond nails accent the top and base, adding subtle decorative detail while reinforcing the table’s honest rural construction. The table is supported by sculptural carved trestle bases joined by a substantial center stretcher, with shaped feet and traditional mortise and tenon joinery that speak to its durable craftsmanship. Sturdy, well balanced, and rich in rustic charm, this antique French refectory table is ideal for anchoring a dining room, breakfast nook, wine cellar, or country style kitchen, offering both everyday functionality and enduring provincial elegance. Excellent condition overall commensurate with age and use, with a warm bleached finish. Measures: 86.25″ W x 35″ D x 30″ H.
