Description:

Here is a superb example of a quality antique French provincial cherry wood farmhouse refectory table from the 2nd Empire period, circa 1850, in good original condition. This table would have been used in a country property in France during the 2nd Empire period.

The table boasts a large pullout chestnut breadboard at one end and large chestnut lined drawer at the other end, featuring the original handles. Tables that feature pullout breadboards are more desirable than those without. The table frame and top, which is constructed in the traditional peg construction, sits on four pretty but sturdy tapering block legs with scribe detail.
