BH | Studio Pitlochry Oval Dining Table

The table on a single column and round foot was a favourite of Regency and Victorian breakfast rooms, where it let chairs be drawn up all the way round. Raised on a polished metal stem in the twentieth century, the same idea became the café and bistro table, and it carries a little of that café glamour into the home.

This one has an oval top, longer than it is wide, faced in Chestnut wood veneer or finished in White over engineered wood, smooth and easy to wipe after meals. It rests on a single polished brass-tone column standing on a round, gently domed foot, so chairs can be drawn up along both sides and at each end, with a ring beneath that keeps the foot from marking the floor. The oval gives soft ends and no corners. Assembly is required.

Its slim oval fits a narrow dining room or the end of a kitchen, leaving room to pass behind the chairs, and it is as good for everyday family meals as for entertaining. Lay it with linen and candles for supper, or set it in a bay window with a fern and the morning paper. The top and brass column suit cane or velvet chairs, a deep green wall and a vintage chandelier. This listing is for the table only.
