Crafted entirely from tiger maple, its round top glows with the rippling flame of the wood’s grain—a honeyed surface that shifts in the light like silk. The turned center column, with its restrained vase-and-bead profile, speaks to an artisan’s hand fluent in history but unburdened by reproduction. Three cabriole legs descend with a quiet curve, ending in pad feet that ground the table with 18th-century grace. Though made within the last 25 years, it carries the warmth and intimacy of furniture from England’s great cabinetmakers or early American workshops, yet with a freshness that makes it equally at home today. It is at once familiar and surprising, a reminder that craftsmanship—and the shimmer of tiger maple—needs no century to feel timeless. See less
