This is an early 18th C table in pine. The original with a wedge truss, vase ends on shoes, scrolled truss, and thumbnail mold top, was identified in Wallace Nutting’s “Furniture Treasury”. This is a handy lightweight table especially for laptop computer use. I’ve included a unique drawer which is useful from both sides of the table. |
