A rustic or semi-rustic farm table made from salvaged or antique wood makes a great furniture piece for a living room, dining room or kitchen area, or in a garage or work space. It creates a feeling of warmth to your home and adds a genuine country vibe reminiscent of fun, laughter, and memorable family get-togethers. Farm tables are carefully hand crafted with different type of finishes, and many are available in different lengths.
Farm tables that are of a basic design offer versatility and functionality, fitting equally well in a kitchen as they would in a living area. Many of these rustic tables are newly made from reclaimed or salvaged beams of white pine to create an antique look, and are hand crafted. The choice of stains and finishes are varied; from a semi-rustic oiled finish with provincial stain to the darkest brown maple stain, or a natural finish. Ranging between 4 ft to 10 ft or more in length, any one of these farm tables would make a wonderful addition to the home.
Antique tables come in many different styles, in addition to the standard farmhouse table. Benches, bistro or café tables and trestle tables, also hand crafted and made from antique or reclaimed white pine or oak, all make a lasting impression however they are used. These may have a matte lacquer finish, or a bleached, semi-rustic look, and are available in different lengths so you can select the one that best suits your needs.
In addition to the different table styles, finishes, and wood used, the shapes and material used for the table legs also varies. Wooden legs can be turned spindle, tapered or Shaker style – all beautifully crafted with a matching top. As with wood, there are many types and forms of metal used for the legs, such as brushed steel, which can be used on unique tables such as the black walnut live edge table with original, organic lines. Or, a table of solid walnut and a steel base with lacquer finish offers a more contemporary choice.
Brushed reclaimed copper clad legs makes for a very interesting, urban design. Other urban or industrial tables, that can be used as a work space or anything else you can imagine, have salvaged industrial machine or machine base legs. For an unusual and highly interesting look, you can’t go past the rustic table with anchor chain legs – all parts antique.
A small number of farm tables are one of a kind; original pieces that you won’t find anywhere twice. For example, a maple butcher block industrial table with original legs that can be used for almost any purpose. Or, a banyan tree table salvaged from felled trees during a hurricane, ideal for use as a bistro table, and definitely very unique. Then there’s also the live edge claro walnut table constructed from a single slab of salvaged wood, beautifully hand crafted.
With so many choices of rustic and semi-rustic farm tables made from salvaged and antique materials, there’s one that is sure to suit any living area or work space. Owning a unique farm table will bring warmth and a lot of country charm to your home, but will also make a great investment that can only increase in value with time.
