Notable for its clean, timeless lines and clever design featuring camel-like legs with brass hinges and swiveling brass locking pins that allow it to be quickly and easily converted between dining table height and coffee table height as one’s hosting needs require. Finished in very handsomely-grained light mahogany veneer throughout.

Affixed to underside are two very seldom seen Jasper Wood Products Co. paper labels with handwritten Brown-Saltman attribution, date, model number, and production details. Stamped on underside is “86 TABLE”.

Height listed is for dining table configuration. Height of coffee table configuration is 14.88 inches. See less
