At the Este court in Ferrara, banquets were planned like theatre, and the duke's steward Cristoforo da Messisbugo set down course after course in a book of banquets published in 1549. This round table is made for a smaller feast in the same spirit, where every dish is passed by hand and every guest can see the others. Its carved pedestal rises like a tall urn from a broad base, so knees and chairs never meet a corner leg.
It is solid old reclaimed pine, carved richly through the pedestal and base, and the 40-inch top is finished with an ogee edge, a moulding that curves in an elegant S. The reclaimed timber brings depth and age to the carving, so it feels like a table with a past. It arrives in two boxes.
Set it in a small dining room or a kitchen bay under a low pendant, laid with a cloth, a bowl of figs, a loaf of bread and candles for supper. This listing is for one dining table.
