A handcrafted Pennsylvanian table inspired by the original German settlers of the area featuring vibrantly painted floral bouquets in traditional Dutch folk art fashion on a darkened mustard yellow base. It features a three-sided stepped edge tabletop bordered in deep tones of red and teal over a scrolling apron with finished interior drawers having iron drop pulls and resting on cabriole legs. It displays a naturally aged, heavy craquelure finish with character marks and a weathered appearance giving the table a unique time-worn, lived-in charm.

A well-crafted, beautiful piece which reflects the blending of Old-World European traditions with the new, agrarian and culturally diverse landscape of the early American colonies. See less
