House Note · About this piece

Pernes-les-Fontaines, in Provence, is a town of fountains, and summer lunch there is served in the shade: bread, cheese, a bowl of cherries and a bottle of rosé brought out course by course. This server is made to carry that meal. Its compact top holds a platter and a carafe right beside the table, and its curved, serpentine front, with a deeply scalloped apron, the frame below the top, gives it the soft lines of a Provençal country piece.

It is built from sustainably grown hardwood and painted a lightly distressed off-white, with fine vertical grooves cut into the shaped doors so light plays across the front. Large brass handles open the cupboards. At 36 inches wide and just under 20 inches deep, it fits in a small dining room, a breakfast nook or a hallway.

Stand it beside a dining table with a carafe, glasses and a bowl of fruit on top, or in an entry with a lamp and a dish for keys. It also makes a pretty bar with bottles behind the doors and a tray of glasses above. A larger sideboard comes in the same family. This listing is for one server.
