Large Italian Pine Framhouse Table, c.1880

A lovely late 19th century Italian farmhouse table in pine, with generous proportions and an exceptional naturally aged surface.

The broad plank top has a wonderful dry-as-a-bone texture and colour, worn over generations to a soft, pale finish. Knocks, marks and gentle irregularities remain across the surface, giving the table the softness that only comes with genuine age and use.

Simple tapered legs and a single central drawer keep the form uncomplicated. At 105cm wide, it is particularly generous for an old farmhouse table, giving plenty of room for serving dishes down the centre while comfortably seating people on either side.

It is the pale colour, the bone-dry surface and softness of the old pine that make this table special — simple, handsome and extremely usable.
