Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 19TH CENTURY:
Pegged mortise-and-tenon joints in the base: traditional country cabinet work.
Shrinkage gaps between the top boards: natural timber movement across many seasons.
Historic insect flight holes across the lower frame: decades in rural outbuildings.

This is an independent date and photo anotation report compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This nineteenth-century French provincial vendange table brings rustic character to a country-style interior, originally designed for the wine harvest with a tilting mechanism that allowed harvesters to store the furniture away easily when the season ended. The piece is constructed from a warm brown fruitwood planked circular top paired with a sturdy oak trestle base joined by timber pivot pegs. Visible details include age-related signs of wear, ancient woodworm scars, and visible peg joinery along the plank seams. The furniture measures 67 cm high with a diameter of 124 cm, providing a practical surface when lowered or a striking decorative display when the top is tilted upright. In a contemporary home, this table functions as a dining or accent surface in a rustic or farmhouse dining room, kitchen, or living space.

FAQs

A vendange table, also known as a wine-tasting table or vigneron table, was traditionally used during the grape harvest in French vineyards for communal meals and wine tasting, featuring a tilt-top mechanism to allow compact storage when not in use.

These functional country tables were typically constructed from local French hardwoods such as oak, chestnut, or fruitwood, using thick circular planked tops secured to a foldable trestle base with wooden pivot pegs and wrought iron fittings.

Authentic period examples exhibit original wooden locking pegs, hand-forged metal hardware, historical wear across the planked surface, and a natural aged patina across the timber underside and trestle frame.

A vendange table functions effectively as a dining table in a kitchen nook or breakfast area, while its tilt-top design allows it to be displayed vertically against a wall as an architectural timber feature.

Maintain the timber surface by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying clear beeswax sparingly, ensuring the piece is positioned away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage or warping.
