【30% OFF, Shipping Not Included】BlancdeJuillet Dining Table Alma Φ120

Blanc de Juillet
Brand Juillet

Our long-awaited new dining table, originally designed and produced by us.
While we are committed to eye-catching design,
we have also crafted it to be comfortable and durable for long-term use.
The striking single-leg design gives it an object-like presence.

The Tudor-style design with its substantial legs
is classic yet simple,
making it easy to incorporate into any interior style.

It is sized to comfortably accommodate four people for a meal.
While it may be a little tight for formal dining, it can accommodate up to six people.

At a diameter of 120 cm,
it is relatively small for a dining table,
but it provides the minimum space required for dining.
If it were any larger,
a rectangular table would be more space-efficient.
Also, if it were any smaller, the curve would be sharper,
making it difficult to enjoy a relaxed meal.

A tabletop with an appealing natural finish.
The gentle texture unique to solid wood creates a warm atmosphere.
As we use high-quality wood,
stains and other marks made during use
will not detract from its beauty,
and with continued use,
it will develop a distinctive antique-like patina.

The simple decorative trim around the edge of the tabletop
keeps the weight light
while creating a luxurious impression that makes it look thicker than it actually is.
The side is adorned with a brand plate.

The feet are embellished with fine, cat-paw-like details.
Unlike mass-produced furniture,
each decoration is carefully carved by hand by skilled artisans.

The rich, antique-like texture is also
the result of artisanal craftsmanship.
To create a distressed, peeling effect, we use an antique-remodeling technique,
applying color and finishes to give it character.
You will be able to appreciate the charm that mass-produced furniture simply cannot offer.

By contrasting the colors of the tabletop and legs, it pairs well with any chair,
and you can enjoy a variety of looks depending on how you combine them.
In addition to classic and modern styles,
we also recommend pairing it with iron chairs
to create a French style that mixes different materials.

Draping a tablecloth over it
will allow you to enjoy a completely different atmosphere.
A white tablecloth
will create an elegant, all-white style.

We assemble and inspect the item before
shipping it to you.
Because antique furniture is handcrafted,
assembly is somewhat complex,
so it is performed by the delivery personnel upon delivery.

【Brand Juillet Original Furniture】
Designed with antiques in mind, we use the same construction methods as those from around 1800.
For this reason,
we keep scientific treatments such as waterproofing to a minimum
and finish it only enough to prevent a glossy shine.
It is designed to be wiped dry, allowing its character to develop with use
and for you to enjoy its natural changes over time.

Wiping it with a wet cloth every time will cause it to crack within a few years.
To prevent cracking and peeling paint,
it could easily be painted and finished with varnish,
but this would create a high-gloss finish similar to common mass-produced items.
With such a finish,
scratches would simply be ugly blemishes, and aging would merely make it look old.

When dining, please use a tablecloth or placemats.
Leaving it wet for extended periods will cause stains.
Please understand its characteristics and enjoy the changes it undergoes,
including stains and scratches.
We hope you will use it until it becomes a true antique piece of furniture♪

Care

※The water-resistant treatment is applied by Brand Juillet after the item arrives in Japan. While this makes it less likely to stain if wet items are placed on it and more resistant to scratches compared to conventional items, please note that hot items may leave marks.

※The water-resistant treatment applied in Japan is a basic treatment; if liquid is spilled, it will naturally soak in after about an hour. We use this basic treatment because a fully waterproof finish would create a glossy shine and detract from the natural texture.

※To create an antique-like appearance, the item has a natural finish. Scratches and worn-looking stains have been painted on. Upon close inspection, you will see that they are finely drawn with a brush.

※Please use a mat or tablecloth when using the item. Over time, it will develop into an even more authentic antique.

※Wiping it with water repeatedly can cause it to dry out and crack. Although treatments are available to prevent this, we deliberately do not use them because they create a glossy shine and detract from the antique-like atmosphere. We recommend wiping it dry.

Please read before purchasing

※The grain pattern of the tabletop may vary from piece to piece. Thank you for your understanding.
※As this item is made from solid wood, the wood will expand and contract depending on the season. It will contract in the dry winter months and expand in the humid summer months. Thank you for your understanding.
※Depending on the humidity level in the air, cracks may occur. Because solid wood adapts to the humidity, temperature, and sunlight of its environment, it may continue to move over the years if it is exposed to direct sunlight or placed too close to heat sources such as radiators or fireplaces.
※Wiping it with water repeatedly can cause it to dry out and crack. Although treatments are available to prevent this, we deliberately do not use them because they create a glossy shine and detract from the antique-like atmosphere. We recommend wiping it dry.
※Assembly required
※We accept payment by bank transfer and credit card only.
※Returns are not accepted. We only deliver items in good condition. If you are concerned about minor details, please refrain from purchasing.

【About the Characteristics of Solid Wood】
Generally, items sold in Japan
may be made of thin plywood coated with other materials, even if they are made from solid wood.
This is done to make minor cracks less noticeable
or to prevent minor cracks from forming by hardening the material with a coating.

Brand Juillet original furniture
is designed with the concept of creating items that will become antiques in the future,
unlike mass-produced furniture.
Because coatings remove the natural texture of the material,
we do not apply any coatings and use traditional construction methods passed down from the 1800s.
We hope you will enjoy the minor cracks and the character that develops with use.

No solid wood is completely immune to cracking.
Even if it is dried for decades during manufacturing, it may crack due to shrinkage.
To prevent cracking as much as possible,
although it varies from piece to piece, please take care to keep it from drying out.

The item is inspected twice: by a furniture specialist upon arrival
and by the shipping company before dispatch.
If you are concerned about minor details, please refrain from purchasing.
