Large Antique Dining and Refectory Tables
French Antique dining and refectory tables Melbourne
large 10 to 12 seater french farmhouse refectory dining tables for sale in melbourne australia We stock antique French tables and most of these are French farmhouse and refectory tables that carry the marks of generations of use. We deliberately leave most of these tables in as-found condition, so as to allow the buyer a say in how they'd like the table restored. We restore tables and make repairs using similar, old timbers and respect the character that age and wear has given them. We do sometimes need to raise table legs to a modern ergonomic height, which we carry out sympathetically.
