10 Seater Farmhouse Table

Vintage, new and antique farm tables, with their cozy charm and functionality, make for a wonderful addition to both urban and country homes.

For those drawn to the warm appeal of farmhouse style, which is usually an amalgam of other rustically rooted ones, such as cottage, French country and industrial, antique farm tables made of wood are durable and a sound investment, and over the years have been constructed in a variety of shapes and sizes. Amid your other treasured antiques, a farmhouse table can help create a cohesive and welcome dining experience.

On 1stDibs, find country farmhouse tables that were designed to handle heavy use and are an ideal choice for families and large-group dining. Interior designer Suzanne Rheinstein surrounded a client’s farm table with 10 wicker chairs she had flown in from Montecito, California, as part of a project that called for a sophisticated oasis in the Virginia countryside. “The owners entertain beautifully, and this was for one of their relaxed country lunch parties,” she says.

It’s worth pointing out, however, that farm tables are versatile structures. They can pair easily with any manner of chair style that doesn’t necessarily have to be a wooden bench or other seating made from natural materials.

Farm tables were once universally known as “harvest tables.” Most likely made of pine in the early days — a material favored by contemporary designers for custom projects — farmhouse tables served as sturdy surfaces on which farmers could work. Antique farm tables were popularized by early settlers before furnishings became more modern and sophisticated and furniture makers sought materials other than wood for dining tables. An old pine farm table is going to be robust and will often accommodate more guests owing to its length. Plan accordingly, as a farmhouse dining table will occupy a lot of real estate in a modest-sized apartment. It will also likely be characterized by nicks, dings and imperfections, introducing character into your dining room as well as an air of nostalgia.

Whether you plan to take a minimalist approach to your decor with a sleek, pared-back vintage French farmhouse table or a contemporary farm table made of reclaimed white oak is a better fit, these tables are a great choice for both indoor dinners and outdoor entertaining.
