Mid-19th Century French Etabli or Carpenter's Workbench with Vise and Drawer
A mid-19th century French etabli or carpenter's workbench handcrafted of chestnut in Caen, located in the heart of Normandy, circa 1850s. The plank top of this rustic carpenter's workbench has tool holes built into the wood, tool marks and indentations from the many projects completed over decades of use, and a great patina. It features the original steel vise, a large storage drawer (added at a later date), a bottom shelf for keeping a craftsman's tools and implements, and traditional tenon and mortise construction. Workbenches like this were common in country homes in France. Farmers were not able to work in the fields during the cold winter months so they would often make furniture for their own homes or families. Whether used as a console, sofa table, or bar, this sturdy workbench will withstand everyday use with ease and is sure to be a focal point.
