Vintage Reclaimed Ruler Dining Table with Hairpin Legs

A unique vintage dining table seating up to 6 people comfortably, featuring a distinctive tabletop made from an arrangement of reclaimed vintage wooden yardsticks and rulers.
 
The rulers, most of which originate from the USA, date from around the mid-20th century and feature a variety of colourful advertising graphics, business names and typography. Arranged side-by-side, they create a striking multicoloured striped surface, with each ruler adding its own individual character and history.
 
The tabletop is finished with an oak trim and supported by a set of grey metal hairpin legs, giving the table a simple mid-century-inspired industrial feel.
 
The table has plenty of character and signs of age, including some marks and scuffs to the tabletop. The metal legs have some surface rust, adding to its aged appearance.
 
A highly unusual statement dining table and a great example of creative reuse, combining vintage advertising ephemera with practical furniture design.
 
I have some smaller matching tables available in other listings.
