About the Item

Model: 2ATOP PT2_BS3 / 2ATOP PT27_BS3 Top: Two Joint Single Slabs of Antique Reclaimed Hardwood Top finish: Bleached & Natural Oiled Base: PT2 base, Sand Cast Brass Base finish: Brushed Brown Dimensions: 240 x 105 x 74 cm /240 x 40 x 46cm (w x d x h) 94.5 x 41.3 x 29.6 inch / 94.5 x 15.75 x 18.11 inch This is a table which currently sits in our dining room, one great advantage of being a table-maker… We recently moved into a midcentury house and we needed a dinner table which would fit the room, could seat 6 very comfortably and could seat 8guests if need-be. We chose a pair of antique slabs of Chicken-wing wood (Jichi-mu) as this is one of our favorite and rarest hardwoods. Most of the 200 slabs we have in our collection come in pairs since they were used by villagers in Vietnam as day-beds: none of the slabs are ever wider than 80 cm and were placed directly on the floor, one next the other, or on raised platform. People would sit, eat drink sleep on these ‘tables’. We simply thoroughly washed the wood, slightly sanded it and applied 8 layers of oil to really saturate the very old wood. We decided on our PT2 base, cast in bronze, with a black patina with some texture to complement this Fine wood. P. Tendercool ATOPs – tables made with Antique TOPs Bespoke, handmade tables created with collected slabs of antique hardwood and sand-cast bronze, brass or aluminum Available to your order Antique slabs of exotic hardwood P. Tendercool, run by Belgians Pieter Compernol and Stephanie Grusenmeyer, is based in Bangkok, Thailand. Stephanie comes from a family of Antique dealers and for over a decade has been collecting truly unique slabs of antique hardwood. We estimate that about 95% of these wonderful slabs we collected over a period of 10 years are about one hundred years old. Inspection of the bottom parts show they were clearly cut by hand, pre-machine age... There are never any traces of legs, nor is there ever any carving, just slabs of amazing harwood. The fact that these wooden slabs still exist is proof of their stone-hard quality, we are not talking pine-wood here: many decades of humid-hot, termite-infested surroundings have had no noticeable effect other than them remaining solid witnesses of a bygone era. They typically have a one-person size: around two-meter long, by about 75-80 cm wide. We almost always find them in pairs: his and hers, Ying and Yang. Which wood? By far the larger number of slabs in our collection is Chicken-wing wood, coveted and cherished by many Chinese as ?Jichimu? since the grain of this wood variety resembles the feathers of a bird. Next to Zitan & Huang-Huali wood, Jichimu has enjoyed a wide following and furniture made with this rare wood has been avidly collected since to the Ming-dynasty. We currently own two hundred slabs, available for selection in our workshop, just across our gallery in Bangkok. We do not know of anyone who has such a large collection of aged slabs as ours. Unfortunately the secret is out: we now have to pay double to triple the price we paid only a couple of years ago. Collectables As former Antiques dealers we are convinced that our ATOP collection will be 'Antiques' to future generations: the wood is already extremely rare and about a hundred years old, the bases sand-cast by hand, and we will let you be the judge of the strength of the design ;) Reason why every table created will receive our burnt-in logo and its unique number stamped at the bottom. We are not discussing ?limited series here?, every single table is unique. Lead-time 12 weeks Crating Your treasures will safely arrive on your doorstep. Inquire about our crate-quote and relax: each creation is perfectly packed and crated in custom-made wooden crates, we will send photos during and after packing. We have been shipping worldwide since 2009 and never, ever, had any complaint, reason why we suggest our clients not to bother with insurance, but this is your call eventually: in our experience as former antiques-dealers, insurance company charge a premium and turn in Kafkaesque red-taped bureaucrats whenever a claim is filed.
