This antique French oak folding table was sourced in the French Alps and dates to the early 19th century. Crafted from solid oak throughout, the piece reflects the honest, utilitarian craftsmanship of provincial French furniture, designed for everyday use and built to last. The long, narrow top is formed from two wide oak planks with a central seam, reinforced by inset iron butterfly (bow-tie) braces - a traditional structural detail that adds both stability and visual interest. The surface showcases a beautifully aged patina, with expressive grain, subtle undulation, and surface wear developed over generations of use, giving the table warmth and character without feeling rustic or heavy. Raised on turned baluster legs joined by a low stretcher, the base provides excellent stability and a strong architectural presence. Its proportions make it especially versatile: when closed, it works effortlessly as a console or serving table; when opened, it offers a generous surface ideal for kitchen prep, casual dining, or use as a work table. The table has been structurally restored in our workshop to ensure solidity and everyday functionality, then carefully polished and finished with wax to preserve the natural color, depth, and patina of the oak. A highly adaptable antique with soulful presence, this piece integrates beautifully into kitchens, dining spaces, entry halls, or layered modern interiors that benefit from contrast, texture, and history.

Antique Country French Louis XV Provincial Oak Rush Dining Chairs- Set of 6
“I LOVE my French provincial table I received from this store! As other reviewers I also had the pleasure of working with Ivan who provided excellent customer service which I have found hard to come by these days. He was very communicative, professional and proactively would update you without you ever having to check in on anything. The delivery service was great which was another fear I had about shipping a large piece of furniture from out of state and another thing I have had bad experiences with. I would highly recommend this store. Thank you for your great service!”

French Country Provincial Pine Farmhouse Dining Table
“I had a moment when I first saw this piece! From then on it continued to be easy. Right after purchasing it, Ivan acknowledged the sale and informed me about the proposed delivery schedule and the shipper's name. The shipper, Marek, contacted me well before delivery. We live north of nowhere and Marek made the delivery on time on a Sunday! He's very professional and careful: the piece had blankets all over it! When I saw the piece it was even more beautiful than in the photo and it was a good photo! StandOutSpaces is an excellent company with which to do business. Thank you Ivan! All the Best! From a very happy customer!”

“I Found Everything about this Vendor to be Excellent Without Question. The Service, Exceptional, True to His Word, the Delivery Time was Quick, and Even at this Time of Year. The Quality of the Furniture, Impeccable, Well Above My Expectations. I’m sure most of us shopping online face a bit of apprehension, particularly with high dollar items, just as I did. I must honestly admit I was quite taken back when I actually saw my purchase upon delivery, well above what I previously envisioned. I would not hesitate to shop this Vendor’s Wares again when the need arises. Top Notch in My Opinion, Thank You!”
