for those of you who have not been to brimfield, it can be very overwhelming.
the show is a full 5 days and goes on for miles and miles...
it is quite inspiring but completely exhausting.
each day of the show, a new "field" opens...and with this comes a stampede.
one morning very early, we waited and waited in line to get into one of the fields.
we all looked at one another in line as some (grown adults) would do anything to get closer to the gate opening in 2 hours...
"what the heck is inside the gate that is so valuable?
we all decided... it was THE GOLDEN TICKET. (we had to laugh or we would have lost it)
inside the gate are hundreds of dealers...
and thousands of others running around falling over one another... trying to get their "golden tickets"...
well... this was ours...
1805 wine tasting table... the incredible dealer it was purchased from had not seen one this good in 20 years... and he specializes in finding them.
perfect in a wine cellar with a pair of leather club chairs... worth every bit of the craziness.

in 1805 in the u.s.
in between the flying arrows, and circling the wagons,
...they were doing 'wine tastings!'
disregard this comment if the table is from europe.

Great find!!! maybe next Brimfield, we will run into each other, I would be the one looking for rusting industrial pieces...
It's lovely. I love Brimfield--I used to live in Cambridge and got some good stuff at the show, including a beautiful wrought iron bed. It's really a great resource for those fortunate enough to be able to go.
Wow, 1805!
Love it.
absolutely wonderful.....
Oh my...so so lovely your table is. Lucky you...some day I would love to line up and find my golden ticket. Hugs.
Definitely well worth all the craziness! It's wonderful, I love the detailing on the base...someone is going to be very fortunate.
How about filming it sometime...it would be fun to see all the madness, mayhem and treasure hunting in action. ;)
Thanks for your sweet comment Pam...it made me smile to know that you knew what I was talking about! xxoo Jessica

What a great find! Cheers to you for scoring such a beautiful table!
I think I need a table for the new wine cellar....for tastings just like that- or one that flips down.

Ahh...I would love to go to Brimfield! I wish I had known about it when I lived in Marblehead, Mass. way back in the day...but I didn't start treasure hunting until years later!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment on my blog! I hope you're having a beautiful week!
