Restored Circa 1920 Hennes France Butchers Block Bronzed Mounts Glass Top

1900 - 1920
Description

Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this lovely original Circa 1920 fully stamped Hennes Fils Constructeur 12 Rue Talensac nantes French Butchers table with bronzed mounts and gallery glass top.

Please note the delivery fee listed is just a guide, it covers within the M25 only for the UK and local Europe only for international, if you would like an accurate quote, please send me your postcode and I’ll provide you with the exact price.

A sublime table with a one of a kind restoration. The table came to me as you see it after being restored by Alex from “The Restorers” Drew Pritchard’s spin off TV show to Salvage Hunters.

Alex glued and clamped the top block then had made these custom mounts using plaster I think it was mixed with real bronze power, they then had a glass gallery top made so the piece can be used as a normal occasional or kitchen work table. We further restored the piece by fully worm treating it three times, securing the base frame joints and lastly re aligning the drawers. The piece is now fully restored and ready for the new owner.

Other than the above the timber has been deep cleaned hand condition waxed and hand polished. The bronzed mounts have wear to the finish, the glass top has the odd chip around the edge.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

French butchers blocks originated in the 19th and early 20th centuries for commercial food preparation, engineered from dense hardwoods to withstand heavy daily impact in traditional butcher shops.

These pieces were typically constructed using thick end-grain or edge-grain oak timber, reinforced with metal corner brackets, tie-rods, and sturdy mortise-and-tenon joinery to maintain structural integrity.

Authentic examples exhibit physical wear such as a concave surface dip from prolonged chopping, heavy iron or bronze corner bracing, and original manufacturer stampings or metal branding plates.

A butchers block functions effectively as a central kitchen island or standalone prep station, often outfitted with a custom glass top to preserve the original contoured timber surface while providing a flat usable area.

Clean the timber surface using a slightly damp cloth, avoid excess moisture, and periodically nourish unsealed wood using food-safe mineral oil or beeswax to prevent surface drying and split formation.
