DESCRIPTION

Next to a reading chair, something is always missing: a place for the cup, the open book, a small lamp. For two centuries, that place was a pedestal table.

This antique walnut pedestal table was made in France in the 19th century, in the Louis Philippe style: a single central leg and no ornamentation to distract from the form. It came from an antique dealer.

The top is round, with a rounded edge. It is supported by a turned column that narrows towards the top and rests on a ring, also turned. Below, a three-armed base with concave sides, supported by three blocks.

The walnut has dark grains crossing the top and pronounced watermarks on the base. One of those grains is open. It is wood that has been working for more than a century, and it shows.

It measures 56 cm in diameter and 78 cm high, and weighs 10 kg.

Next to a high-backed armchair, in a reading nook. In a hallway, under a lamp. Between two chairs by a window, for two coffees.

At 78 cm, it has the height of a dining table. Next to a low sofa it looks tall; next to an armchair with arms, it is in its place.

WHAT TO LOOK AT CLOSELY

→ The base. Three curved arms, assembled in pieces and with the joints visible. With a single leg in the center, the top remains free around its entire perimeter.

→ The open grain. A dark line crosses the top from side to side. It was neither filled nor concealed.

RESTORATION IN OUR WORKSHOP IN NAVALCARNERO, MADRID

In the workshop, the walnut was washed and finished with wax. The honey tone it has now comes from that washing: it is ours.

The marks of age were not touched: the dents from use, the open grain of the top, and the joints of the base. It arrives ready to take its place.

What we know about this piece

The central pedestal table became widespread in French homes during the reign of Louis Philippe, between 1830 and 1848: a light table that was placed next to the armchair or the window. This one is French, 19th century, in walnut, and came from an antique dealer. It retains the three-legged base with its exposed joints and an open grain that crosses the top. In the workshop, it was washed and waxed. The marks of use were not touched. The honey tone is ours.
