About

This unusual yet elegant antique French monastery dining table was crafted circa 1850 in the Louis XIII provincial tradition. Built in oak as a true refectory farm table, it features a thick two-plank top with beautiful grain movement and a richly timeworn surface that reflects generations of use. The softly eased edges and deep, light patina give the piece authentic farmhouse presence and quiet grandeur. The base is supported by bold turned baluster legs joined by a full-length stretcher and raised on substantial trestle runners. The strong architectural stance and grounded proportions are characteristic of the Louis XIII aesthetic, emphasizing symmetry, durability, and rustic refinement. The light oak finish displays warm tonal variation and natural texture throughout. This antique table comfortably seats 8 to 10 guests, making it ideal as a farmhouse dining table, harvest table, or impressive center table in a traditional or country-inspired interior. The large table is in excellent antique condition commensurate with age and use and retains wonderful character throughout. Dimensions: 89.75″W x 34.25″D x 29.5″H
