This is an antique arts and crafts style wicker library table by Heywood-Wakefield Company. The table measures 30” tall, 49” long, and 27” wide, a versatile size that could be used as a desk in a home office, console table in a living room, or an extra serving table in a dining room.
The table has a rectangular solid oak top with rounded corners, the edges trimmed in braided wicker. The base consists of four curved wicker legs and wicker apron. The natural wicker is accented with black wicker designs and open lattice work at the corner bracings and on the stretcher uniting the legs. The Heywood-Wakefield Company paper label from Wakefield, Mass, is affixed to the underside of the table.
Based on the label, the table dates between 1921 through the 1940s. Heywood and Wakefield were originally two rival wicker furniture manufacturers. Heywood Brothers was established in 1826, and Wakefield Company was founded in 1855. In 1897, Heywood Brothers and Wakefield Company merged, becoming Heywood Brothers & Wakefield Company. By 1921, the name was shortened to Heywood-Wakefield Company and remained that way until the 1940s.
The early 20th century table is in very good antique condition. It is substantial and sturdy, and it has been built with quality American craftsmanship. The oak top had previously been painted and has been sanded down to unfinished oak. The oak top has some water stains and remnants of old paint in the grain. It can be stained and refinished, but is ready to use as is. Wicker is in great shape with scattered broken strands. Please see photos for more details about the condition of the table.
