I am SO in love with this new old table. I got it from my French dealer friends who put the old base on it.

Easily seats eight, I see it with anything from great mid century modern metal chairs to comfy parsons chairs, I can help you find them. $1800, I hope you will use this table for years and years, it's very special.
