Hure Table Base

I have a love for the old cast iron bases made from the late 1800s to the 1940s. A French machinist named P. Hure built many different lathes and milling machines that stood on them. They are rare and very hard to find, especially in America, so I built this base as a tribute to him. It’s built with 1/4″ thick steel which is the heaviest gauge we’ve used to date. And the large connecting screw has a 2″ diameter with a 3″ nut that holds the two bases together. It’s massive and curvy lines blend well to support the top of your choice. As always, this piece can be customized to suit your needs, as a desk with drawers, different heights, colors, etc.

Description

30″ Dining or 42″ Bar Height Option – Base is built for a 2″ tall top to achieve that height (28″ or 40″ actual base height)

Base spacing is measured from outside of base to outside of base. We recommend 18″ of spacing from end of top to base to allow seating on table ends.

Dining height base weighs approximately 160 lbs.

Each base says “Hure” on the face. Read about the Hure story here: LINK

Please note that all wooden tops manufactured by Vintage Industrial include a 3″ – 6″ breadboard on both ends of the table to prevent warping of hardwoods.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this suitable for daily use?+
Yes. The top and base are finished with a restaurant-grade sealer built for all-day, everyday use. The steel base is engineered to industrial tolerances, a grade above both commercial and residential furniture. These aren’t display pieces — they’re built for the factory floor, refined for the room.
What wood species are available?+
Standard species are walnut, oak, mahogany, and cherry. All tops are solid, premium, sustainably sourced hardwood, hand-selected for figure and grain. Other species are available on request and finalized during your commission conversation.
What steel finish options are available?+
Natural patina is shown as standard. Black patina and painted finishes are available and finalized during the commission process.
Can I specify the table size?+
Yes — length, width, and height are all adjustable to your room and seating requirements. Dimensions are finalized during your commission conversation.
What edge profiles are available for the top?+
Live edge, straight, beveled, and other profiles are available depending on the model. Edge style is selected during your commission conversation.
How does the table ship?+
Tables up to approximately 14 feet ship fully assembled. Larger tables ship with the base and top separated for safe transport and are assembled on-site. Large crates may require a loading dock or forklift — let us know during your commission and we’ll plan accordingly.
What is the lead time?+
Lead times are typically 12 weeks or more from deposit, depending on configuration. Your specific timeline is confirmed at the start of your commission.
How is it delivered?+
Standard delivery is freight curbside. White glove service — inside placement, unpacking, and full assembly — is available; delivery method is confirmed during your commission conversation.
