This ''vendange'' table originates from a vineyard in the Bordeaux region of France. The word ''vendange'' means ''the harvesting or harvest time of grapes''.
Originally made to be tilted upright and stored flat among the wine barrels when not in use, then set up for wine tastings and grape pickers'' celebrations to mark the end of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 St Emilion Grand Cru, Chateau Laroque Cru Classe.
A fine, sturdy table, made from mixed fruitwood, with plenty of character and a very attractive tulip shaped swivel pedestal, supporting the table top.
There is some evidence of ancient woodworm, long gone.
