The idea for a French Farmhouse bespoke table germinates 400 years past, with the fall of an acorn in a French forest. The centuries pass, the present arrives, and the aging giant is taken before it falls. Its destiny - to stand as the centrepiece of the family home, boardroom, showroom floor, study - is waiting.
That destiny is an idea grown from the imagination of one woman: Sally Beresford. An idea is nothing until it is made concrete, and Sally is nothing if not hands-on. What once was an acorn now rests in a mill, soon to be assessed under her careful eyes and discerning hands.

Each step in the process of creating a French Farmhouse dining table is a step that assures no details are missed. From the initial consultation with the client to determine the style, dimensions, and finish, to the handcrafting of the structure of the table itself. The whole process is a refinement of artistry expressed in the traditional methods of aging, distressing, and finishing dating from the 17th Century.
Nestled into the North face of the mountain with sweeping views across the grazing lands and vineyard, Mount Ashby Estate offers the perfect setting to enjoy fine wines and the French inspired cuisine.
