French Fratino Oak Occasional Table-Desk

About the Item

Made in France, circa 1890, this table takes inspiration from the Spanish Fratino, a style of refectory table. It features a rectangular top with exciting texture and grain pattern, patinated to a dark coffee tone. Improvised repairs in the form of square pegs dot the table surface, which only adds to the character. Lyre-shaped supports are carved with the signature Arabesque curls and peaks along the edges. The four branches of the stretcher connect the top to the support legs in graceful cross formation. As an unusual size, this sturdy table can be used as a console, or desk, as well as a small dining table. Cleaned and polished with a French paste wax to reveal every historic detail.
