A handsome table crafted of the recycled solid-oak staves from retired wine barrels—a barrel is discarded from vineyard use once it has exhausted its oaky wood flavor. However, the strength and usefulness of the wood will last another century or more. Each tabletop retains the distinctive vintner's marking and original cooperage imprints, so each piece of wine barrel furniture is unique. The wood is treated with a hand-rubbed penetrating stain and a sealer-sanded lacquer topcoat. The shelf of the larger table is made of reclaimed antique hardwood. The smaller size doesn't have a shelf. The Celts are credited with creating wooden barrels for transporting goods during the Iron Age; the French made them famous for aging wine. Today, they are used to make beautiful handcrafted, specialty furniture. Made in USA.
