Made of pine and oak, the rather primitive construction is what makes this piece so engaging and tactile for use as an unexpected side table. Aged to a dark patina, the wood reveals concentric rings in the shallow well of the circular top, dotted with small holes. Elevated on a tripod of three, roughly hewn legs. Gently cleaned with French paste wax to preserve all the historic character. We believe this to be in good antique condition considering its age, and any visible signs of wear are captured in the photos.
