Entertaining with Antique Tables and Culinary Antiques

This holiday season we turn to our favorite antique that centers our celebrations with friends and loved ones: the Antique Farm Table.  Antique Farm Tables for centuries have anchored family gatherings and food preparation, and you can bring this history of celebration into your own home this holiday season with Fireside Antiques. We also love to top our Antique Farm Table with Culinary Antiques that are both beautiful and functional.  Antique Crystal Pitchers, Antique Old Paris Porcelain Dinner Service, and Antique Silverplate Flatware are just a few antiques that are essential pieces to your entertaining plan.

Many Antique Farm Tables can be raised to accommodate more comfortable seating or to match counter heights.  This custom sizing and custom height for Antique Farm Tables provides a great option to the individual who desires a classic “kitchen island” concept from a farm table.  After all, these tables were originally designed to serve as a workstation in the kitchen, often shifting between meal prep to meal service in one day.  We love to think of the chopping and kneading that took place on these surfaces, adding to the character and patina. Centuries of families have shared time around these tables, and yours can, too.

Even the most modern spaces need a balance of age and patina from a French Antique Farm Table or an English Antique Farm Table. The worn wood of an Antique Farm Table indicates that it has been used and loved for generations upon generations. The patinated surface is very forgiving to scrapes and spills.  Happy accidents will only improve the table’s overall patina as time passes, making the Antique Farm Table an ideal piece for entertaining.

At Fireside Antiques, each Antique Farmhouse Style Table brought into our shop is restored and finished by some of the country’s best antique restoration specialists.  Your Antique Farm Table is guaranteed to become a family heirloom, enjoyed for many generations to come.
