Description
Primitive tripod table. France, late 1940s.
Sculptural and distinctive, these three-legged “cricket tables” — a form once commonly found in rural French and British homes — are crafted from solid chestnut and assembled using traditional joinery techniques typical of rustic craftsmanship.
The circular top rests on three legs, each showing visible tool marks and irregular shaping, clear signs of manual work done with traditional tools such as a drawknife or adze.
The wood’s natural patina, combined with its textured surface, makes this raw and authentic piece a perfect fit for Wabi-Sabi, Brutalist, primitive, or contemporary interiors.
Wear and patina consistent with age and use. Very good structural and overall condition. Finished with original period varnish.
Price per unit.
All items offered for sale are in perfect functional condition. However, as they have already lived one or more lives, they may exhibit natural signs of use, slight discoloration, or a gentle patina. We carefully clean and, when necessary, restore each piece with respect for its original design.
