FAQs

Originating in rural France during the 18th and 19th centuries, fruitwood farmhouse tables were crafted by local cabinetmakers using native timber such as cherry, pear, or applewood. Designed as functional work surfaces and family dining hubs, these tables feature simple, robust proportions and minimalist forms adapted for everyday country living.

These tables are traditionally constructed from solid fruitwoods chosen for their tight grain and warm tones. Assembly methods rely on traditional joinery techniques, including pegged mortise and tenon joints, hand-planed top planks, and sturdy aprons often fitted with end drawers for storing cutlery or linens.

Authentic pieces display signs of age such as hand-cut wooden pegs, slight irregularities in plank thickness from manual sawing, and uneven wear along the stretchers or feet. The fruitwood itself develops a distinct warm patina with gentle colour variations, surface marks, and historical repairs along the apron and legs.

A large farmhouse table acts as an grounding centrepiece in both modern rustic and contemporary dining spaces. Pair it with contrasting modern chairs, such as mid-century leather seats or modern wire dining chairs, to create an eclectic balance between traditional warm timber and clean modern lines.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve moisture and lustre. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and place coasters or placemats under hot or damp items to prevent water rings and heat damage.
