Late 19th Century Tuscan Painted Breakfast Table

Late 19th Century Tuscan Painted Breakfast Table is an evocative piece of rural Italian charm, this characterful Tuscan breakfast or small dining table, dating from the late 19th century, is a wonderful example of Italian vernacular design with a decorative twist. Its later painted finish in a timeworn buttery yellow softened by age and framed with dusky blue borders gives it an inviting, sun-faded presence that feels as though it’s been pulled straight from a farmhouse in the hills of Chianti.
Crafted from solid wood and full of sculptural charm, the silhouette is both practical and eye-catching. The splayed legs are elegantly scalloped, joined by pegged stretchers and a wide footrest bar, which adds both structural integrity and a relaxed, sociable feel which is perfect for perching during coffee or long, meandering breakfasts. The exposed joinery and decorative apron panels underline its hand-built, regional character.
At 120 cm wide x 90 cm deep x 77 cm high, this table is compact enough for everyday use yet generous enough to seat up to six people. It works beautifully as a small dining table, a stylish breakfast station or even a writing table in a relaxed country interior.
