This mahogany tilt-top table is based on an original in the Metropolitan Museum collection of American Furniture. It is 32” in diameter by 29” high. The top
rotates and tilts via a “birdcage” arrangement at the top of the central pedestal. The distinctive hand carved piecrust edge is about 1/2” higher than the top surface.

England during the Pilgrim Century. It has an elliptical top that measures 40” by 29” with both leaves up or a compact 17” by 29” with the leaves down.This table is maple but cherry would also be a good choice.

Antique Music Stand
This lovely mahogany piece was originally made to be used as a music stand with shelves and a drawer. The original has been displayed at the
Robert E. Lee mansion in Arlington, VA. In today’s homes it would make a wonderful display stand for small treasures. It’s height and small foot print make it ideal for placement in a corner or other
difficult to decorate area. My wife uses ours to organize and display her stationary and other fancy paper items. I believe it would also be very nice in cherry.

Bracket-Base Blanket Chest
This blanket chest is reproduced from an original Federal-period piece that is documented in Michael Dunbar’s “Federal Furniture” book. The
bracket feet are very attractive and dovetail construction is used to join the sides. The woods used are maple, oak and poplar. The finish is milk paint with a top-coat of polyurethane for durablity.
This chest is 44” long by 19” deep by 22” high. I also make a smaller version that is 38” x 16” x 18”.
