Old XL shop counter in pine and oak, from the 1950s.

We love its large, very generous size and its finish, with panelling on three sides.

The front has a large high panel that elegantly hides the counter top, to keep the work area private.

The piece is mainly made of oak, which makes this counter very sturdy and above all of high quality.

With this distinctive wood (its shade and grain), this piece is timeless.

The design of the end battens (grooves, cut-outs) gives the whole real elegance.

The top is made of a thin veneered oak panel, with a few flaws in the wood (shade, marks, variations)

The upper part of the counter, with its pretty cut-outs, seems to have been made more recently and is made of an MDF panel veneered on its visible face.

It has a small high shelf, handy for storing a few small accessories.

Two large pine shelves on each side of the piece.

There is a very slight gap between the lower shelf and the bottom plinth.

The piece has been fully restored, while keeping its lovely original patina.

Treated, sanded, lightly stained, then varnished. It still has flaws in the wood, marks, small losses and signs of use due to its age, which make this piece authentic.
