This French table called community table comes from a convent in the Loire Valley. It was the main furniture of the refectory. It was used by community members to gather to share the meal in silence.
This table was made of solid oak. This hardwood and noble wood does not suffer the effect of time. It just needs to be patinated.
This table is rectangular, sturdy and rigid. Previously, the table was not covered by a tablecloth at the time of meals. Maintenance had to be easy. The tray should not be fragile. Moreover traces appear, symbol of the passing time and authenticity of this piece of furniture.
For better stability, the table has four legs called «fuseau».
It has three drawers on each front, which open with turned wooden knobs (one button is more worn).
A classic that no one gets tired of. This table has the traditional form par excellence. She only asks to welcome your guests and share happy moments around a good meal.
Whether you live in a modern or old house, the solid wood monastery table will become the main room of your dining room or kitchen.
