Know before you buy
This is an authentic 19th-century French antique, not a modern reproduction. It retains the historical character and craftsmanship consistent with its era.
With a length of 86 inches, this table comfortably seats six to eight people, depending on the width of your dining chairs.
The double column pedestal design is specifically engineered to provide structural stability while maximizing legroom. Because the supports are positioned toward the ends, guests can sit along the sides without obstruction.
To preserve the wood, avoid harsh chemical cleaners and direct sunlight. We recommend using a soft, dry cloth for dusting and a high-quality furniture wax or oil occasionally to nourish the walnut grain.
As an authentic 19th-century piece, the walnut will exhibit natural signs of age, such as minor patina, subtle variations in grain, or light wear consistent with its history. These characteristics are part of its value and authenticity rather than defects.
