Louis XIII walnut kitchen table – 17ᵗʰ century – Périgord
This is the sort of furniture that was used by servants for preparing meals and receptions in the kitchen quarters – the kitchen itself, the scullery, the cellar – in manors, mansions, castles…
The excellent state of conservation makes this kitchen table outstanding, considering its heavy usage in the servants’ quarters – with their beaten earth floors or stone slabs, in the best of cases.
