Early 20th-Century French Fir Table w/ Oxblood Red Finish - 49½"

This early 20th-century table made of fir wood and painted in a deep oxblood red, exudes rustic charm with its timeworn character. The textured patina of the tabletop, marked by wear, chips, and dents, gives it a painterly quality that speaks to its long history of use. A single drawer with its original drop pull adds a practical touch to the otherwise simple design, enhancing its authentic, utilitarian appeal.

Painted furniture like this was commonly found in rural French homes, where durable finishes protected the wood while adding warmth to interior spaces. The oxblood red hue was particularly favored for its rich, earthy tone, which complemented the natural materials of country interiors. Over the decades, layers of paint and use have contributed to the table’s uniquely textured surface, making it a beautiful testament to everyday craftsmanship.

This table makes a striking addition to a rustic kitchen, entryway, or creative workspace. Its raw, weathered surface pairs effortlessly with antique ceramics, woven baskets, and linen textiles, bringing an authentic feel to any setting. It can also serve as a characterful contrast in a more contemporary space, offering a sense of history and texture against sleek, minimal décor.
