Scrubbed mid 19thC pine farmhouse table.
Made of the best, most resinous scots' pine around 1850. In Brittany (this table is from Bain de Bretagne) such tables rarely survive the warm damp conditions of a farm kitchen on an even damper clay floor. This one has probably had several sets of new heels spliced on over the last 150 years to keep its height up. With that 150 years of use and scrubbing the wood had taken on an amazing near riven look. A 3D quality normally found in driftwood. At 2.50m long it will seat 10 even excluding end placing mostly taken up by a huge drawer at each end.
Now restored, it will last for near eternity in modern centrally heated houses. After seeing through the production of miles of breton boudin sausages, a hundred weight of dry cured pork and enough needed bread to sustain Napoleons Peninsular army, there is little to fear from letting children or diner party guests free on it.
It will continue to beautifully outlive us all.
