Crafted in France from old-growth olive wood, its story dates back to the winter of 1956, when an extreme freeze across southern France destroyed millions of olive trees, many of which had been growing for generations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRather than letting the wood go to waste, the fallen trees were stored and left to dry for years before local artisans began turning them into furniture in the decades that followed. The olive wood used here is believed to have come from trees around 200 years old, with the growth lines, knots, cracks, and dramatic variations in grain still visible.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe construction celebrates the wood rather than disguising it. The surface retains its natural edges, while shaped trestle legs are joined by a stretcher with exposed pegged joinery. Years of use have only added to the varied surface and patina.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMatching \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thesouthlooploft.com\/products\/french-olive-wood-trestle-bench-1950s-2-available\"\u003eolive wood benches\u003c\/a\u003e are also available.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Loop Loft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52862187110711,"sku":null,"price":6000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/0135\/0967\/files\/vTHPzWBaEbkL4SI7YUJiA0LfRrWDYQNdj5TcWC7bQGI.jpg?v=1787605319","url":"https:\/\/thesouthlooploft.com\/products\/french-olive-wood-dining-table-1950s","provider":"South Loop Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
