DESCRIPTION

Some tables are just a tabletop. This one has an interior.

This antique oak trestle table was made in France in the 19th century, based on the Louis XIII style of country houses. It is a pétrin table: the table where dough was kneaded and bread left to rise. It came from an antiques dealer.

The tabletop, made of wide boards with headers at the ends, is not fixed. It lifts up as a whole to reveal the trough: a deep drawer with the end panels slanting outwards, darkened inside by decades of use.

Below, four baluster-turned legs with square blocks and bun feet are joined by an H-shaped stretcher. On the sides, the apron is cut into an arch. The legs are joined to the frame with wooden pegs visible at the corners.

It measures 150 cm wide, 74 cm deep and 76 cm high, and weighs 40 kg.

In a kitchen, as a freestanding work table. In an entrance hall, against the wall, as a 150 cm console table. In a study, as a table for spreading out papers, plans or books.

The trough box occupies the space beneath the tabletop, and when seated in front of it, the legs are just barely accommodated. It works best standing up, as a console or work table. For everyday seated dining, it is not the right table.

WHAT IS NOT MADE TODAY

→ The trough. An oak drawer the size of the table, hidden beneath the tabletop. It holds tablecloths, papers or whatever you want to keep close at hand and out of sight.

→ The interior. On the outside, the oak is washed and light; on the inside, the trough and the underside of the tabletop retain the dark tone of their use. Lifting the lid reveals the age of the piece.

→ The tabletop with headers. The wide boards are closed at the ends with a piece across that prevents the wood from warping. More than a century later, it is still flat.

RESTORATION IN OUR NAVALCARNERO WORKSHOP, MADRID

In the workshop, the structure was inspected, the entire table was cleaned, and the oak was washed on the outside. The light tone of the tabletop, legs and aprons comes from that washing: it is ours.

The marks of use were not touched: the wear on the edges and feet, the open joints between the boards and the dark interior of the trough. Ready to be placed where it belongs.

What we know about this piece

The boulangerie table was the bread table in French country houses: the dough was worked on top, and kneaded and fermented in the trough underneath. This one is French, from the 19th century, in oak, in the Louis XIII style with baluster legs and an H-shaped stretcher, and came from an antiques dealer. It retains the lifting top with its end pieces and the complete trough. In the workshop it was inspected and cleaned on the outside. The marks of use remain where they were. The light oak is ours; the dark oak inside, it is not.

Frequently asked questions

Is it an original piece or a reproduction?

It is an original French 19th-century oak trestle table with a lift-top top, Louis XIII turned legs, and wooden dowel joinery; the light exterior finish was applied in our workshop, while the interior of the trough retains its original colour.

What restoration work has been carried out?

The structure was inspected, the entire table was cleaned, and the exterior oak was washed; the signs of wear, the joints between the boards, and the dark interior of the trough were left as they were. The work was carried out in our specialist workshop in Navalcarnero.

Where would this piece fit best in the home?

As a work table in the kitchen, a console table in the hallway, or a desk for spreading out papers; it measures 150 × 74 × 76 cm, and since the trough occupies the space beneath the top, it is better suited for standing than for daily seated meals.

How is the shipping of a piece this size managed?

Shipping is free throughout mainland Spain. The delivery is carried out by the store’s own staff: we place the piece inside the home, where access permits, and remove the packaging. We do not deliver to the street.
