Antique French Butcher’s Block Table With Bull’s Head Mount and Rare Paris Maker's Label Jules Mareschal

Exceptional French butcher’s block table with rare Paris maker's label, handcrafted from solid beech wood and resting on beautifully carved legs with turned and fluted details. The monumental top, formed from end-grain wood, has developed a richly textured surface from decades of use — a true testament to its working history. This substantial block features a center functional drawer with iron pull, and beautiful sculpted apron and top detailing that speaks to the elegant craftsmanship of its era. Its aged patina, wear, and surface cracks are entirely consistent with its authentic use in a 19th-century French boucherie, and add tremendous character and charm. A rare find that balances rustic authenticity with sculptural presence - ideal as a statement kitchen island, console, or farmhouse display table. Metal label says:
