A large, hand-made 12 seater French Farmhouse Table

Made to order by our workshop: A large 12 seater 17th century French Provincial Regence style, solid beechwood farmhouse table of simple proportions, standing on square-section legs joined by an 'H' stretcher, the legs jointed directly into the massive top (on the surface of which are visible the top of the legs' tenons).

Newly hand-built in our workshop as an exact copy of a 17th century Lower Normandy table, the surfaces hand-planed and assembled using traditional joints, reinforced by wooden pegs. The timbers are given several washes of natural pigment stain, with a cut-back between each stain, this technique revealing the 'ridges and troughs' of the hand-planed surfaces. The table is sealed with several coats of a durable oil-based varnish, then waxed and buffed for a glowing wax finish.

Please feel free to enquire with any specific requests for dimensions, tonality of timber colour and finish.
