A wonderful early 20th century French Alpine farmhouse dining table with four matching-style wooden chairs. A lovely set for a country kitchen, breakfast room or informal dining space, with room for family meals, and morning coffee. The long, pale softwood plank top has a beautifully worn scrubbed surface, while the darker splayed legs and shaped scalloped apron give the table its distinctive Alpine appearance. The four chairs have shaped backs, weathered wooden seats and angled legs, that complement the table. Full of the marks and irregularities of years of use, this is an honest piece of rural furniture, with a relaxed, lived-in feel rather than the perfection of something new. Please see more information below for condition.

>More About This Piece

Believed to originate from the French Alpine region, this traditional farmhouse dining set dates to approximately 1900–1930, although its exact age is unconfirmed. The table has a substantial softwood plank top, splayed legs and a shaped apron, while the four chairs feature distinctive carved back supports and solid wooden seats. The pale, scrubbed finish brings out the grain, knots and marks in the timber, giving the set a wonderfully informal appearance.

>Condition

An honest rustic antique set, sold in the condition shown in the photographs. The tabletop has a noticeable bow, along with surface wear, marks and irregularities from years of use. All joints on the four chairs have been re-glued in our workshop. This is old, rustic furniture with the imperfections and colour variations that come with its age and construction, rather than a perfectly flat or uniform dining set. Every piece has been finished with fresh coat of clear wax. Please study the photographs carefully.

>Why We Love It

We love the simplicity of traditional Alpine furniture, particularly the unusual chair backs and the table's shaped apron. The worn, pale timber and slightly irregular construction are exactly what appeal to us about old farmhouse pieces.
