A rare find - this very unusual wine tasting, or ''vendange'' table, from a vineyard in the Bordeaux region of France, retains the original waxed canvas covering on the table top.
Originally made to be tilted upright and stored flat among the wine barrels when not in use, then set up for wine tastings and grape pickers'' celebrations to mark the end of the harvest.
It has been beautifully hand painted and later decorated with ''Grand Vins de Bordeaux, Domaine de Haut Passeloupe, Margaux''.
A particularly fine, sturdy table with plenty of character.
Additional dimension information in cm: height when set up 73cm, height tilted 116cm, depth of table rim 2.4cm, diameter of table top 99cm, width of base 71.5cm, depth of base 38cm.
