Description

These end tables have a simple design that exudes elegance. The drawer faces are veneered with Macassar wood from Asia. The natural elements of the wood were used to decorate the design. Asian Macassar is characterized by its blackish-brown background and longitudinal stripes in yellow, orange, and red. A lovely, patterned contrast, to the ebonized dark brown of the rest of the body. Simple petite orange wooden knobs were added to bring out the orange tinge embedded in the stripes. A four-slated decorative stretcher across the curved saber legs gives the tables another eye-catching element. The rows of stretchers work as a shelf for light items like a book or notepad. The simple design of these small tables makes them versatile and adaptable for any setting.

Each: H= 23.5 in. W= 22 in. D=15 in.

Material

Macassar Veneer / Ebonized maple and beech

Condition

The frame is ebonized maple. Ebonizing wood is the effect of blackening a naturally lighter colored wood to appear more like black ebony wood while still allowing the wood grain to show through. There are slight nicks and scratches throughout. The Macassar veneer has cracks and the face of one of the drawers has signs of repair.

The French polish is in good condition. The tabletops have light scratches but no major blemishes. The drawers slide smoothly. One has a maple bottom, the other a beech bottom. The drawer with the beech bottom is a replacement bottom bearing a stamp "Fabrication Francaise ". We will be happy to provide additional images upon request.
