19th Century Jogltisch Table

19th century

For Sale by Kontrast Antiques

Description

19th Century Jogltisch Table.

Originating from the Joglland region of Austria, dated to around 1870, and recently sourced in Switzerland.

Constructed in pine with a traditional mortice-and-tenon base, supporting a joined oak plank top. The table features one large central drawer, accessible from both sides, alongside a narrower side drawer fitted with internal compartments.

The Jogltisch was traditionally the social heart of the home — used for meals, gatherings, celebrations, mourning, conversation, prayer, and even trading or business negotiations. In many rural households, where cupboards and chests were scarce, important documents and belongings were often stored discreetly beneath the movable tabletop.

Diameter 124 cm × Height 77 cm

Interestingly, this example carries personal provenance. It belonged to a prosperous family whose father, a tailor, fled southern Germany for Switzerland during the 1930s. Further details of this history remain, including the children’s original travel permits and passports, which can be shared.

The box stretchers appear to have been replaced at some point, and the drawer handles are later replacements.

Originating in the Alpine regions of Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, a Jogltisch is a traditional rustic table featuring integrated storage drawers, a sturdy box stretcher base, and often a sliding or removable top.

These tables are typically constructed from dense local softwoods and hardwoods like pine, larch, or fruitwood, featuring mortise and tenon joinery, carved aprons, and turned wooden knobs.

Authentic examples demonstrate hand-planed surfaces, wooden peg construction, natural wear on the stretcher base from foot placement, and occasionally hand-carved dates or initials on the frieze.

Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish annually along the wood grain to maintain the patinated surface and prevent timber drying.
