  • French 19th Century Walnut Wine Taster’s Table

    French 19th Century Walnut Wine Taster’s Table

    $3,200.00

    29.63"H x 49.63"W x 38.50"D

    Dimensions: 29 ⅝” H x 49 ⅝” W x 38 ½” D

    This solid walnut wine tasting table, properly known as a vendange, was made in the late 19th century in France. Used by wine-makers throughout France and Europe, these specialized tables have a tilting mechanism that allows its top to be positioned in upright orientation–taking up less space in tightly-quartered cellars. A quick twist of the V-shaped support leg locks the oval top in place when flat. This unique table would be delightful as a center table to greet your guests, as well as in an informal dining space like a breakfast nook. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition. Note that at some point in time, one pair of legs has been reinforced with iron brackets at the feet–adding to the historic charm of this occasional table.

    A rare, metamorphic oak table from 18th century France, appearing to be a substantial console table that easily flips open–nearly doubling in depth–to use as an occasional serving table, center table, or for dining. The handmade solid oak construction bears the dark, textural grain patterns and patina developed over nearly two centuries of time & use. Forged iron pendant pulls dangling from the table apron guide the retractable wood rails that support the side planks (like leaves) unfolding from the table top, pivoting on hand-forged iron hinges that are thoughtfully shaped as a decorative feature beyond their function. A base of four, baluster-turned legs connected by flat stretchers in an H-formation anchors the table, giving it a sense of permanence and presence in any space. Cleaned, tightened, and polished with a French paste wax, this intriguing antique table is ready to join your interior. Please view the detailed images.

Shop Vintage & Antique Drop-Leaf Tables

Drop-leaf tables, also known as Pembroke tables, are a type of side table. The signature feature is a central drawer and drop-leaf flaps that fold up and down on either side of the table, bringing in more space.

Antique drop-leaf tables often feature detailed legs, which can be square, turned, or tapered.

Drop-leaf tables date back to the 18th century, cherished through the centuries for their timeless English design style that fits beautifully in bedrooms or living rooms. Collectors also prize French and Swedish drop-leaf tables for their craftsmanship.

How to Choose an Antique Drop-Leaf Table

To select the right antique table for your space, consider the style and shape you want for the room. Are you using the drop-leaf table as a nightstand, end table, or desk?

As a desk, a Pembroke table with a single fold-down size offers versatility and convenience. Triangle-shaped drop-leaf tables may work well in smaller spaces as side tables next to a sofa. In a bedroom, you may be able to accommodate larger tables if the space is larger.

Drop-leaf tables with rectangular shapes can also work as sofa consoles. This allows great versatility, as you can extend the table for entertaining to use it as a buffet or bar.

Types of Antique Drop-Leaf Tables

Drop-leaf and Pembroke tables make unusual yet elegant side tables and nightstands in rooms featuring antique, classical, and vintage flair. In farmhouse, shabby chic, midcentury, or Victorian spaces, they can add just the right touch of style.

Drop-leaf tables were developed from the gate-leg table style, popular in the 17th century. The name “Pembroke” refers to the aristocratic English Pembroke family. According to oral history, it was Henry Herbert, the 9th Earl of Pembroke, who commissioned the drop-leaf table design in the 18th century.
