Each of the Usuline’s legs spirals up to meet the deep refined table top. On this surface, the pale wood frames dark zinc plates, for wonderful contrast and a durable work top. Beneath each of the zinc panels is a matching pale wood drawer that is perfect for storing cutlery and napkins close to hand.

Created by Provence & Fils, the Ursuline captures the romance and beauty of European history in a new stunning style perfect for home.
