Standing 30 inches high with a generous 28-inch round top, it is scaled to serve beautifully as a foyer accent, lamp table, or side table beside high-arm seating.

The tabletop features a multi-plank construction accented by flush-mounted brass butterfly joints, seamlessly inset into the wood. Historically, these joints were used to reinforce hardwood surfaces and prevent splitting or warping during travel through changing climates, particularly in colonial settings. Here, Theodore Alexander transforms this practical detail into a striking decorative feature that highlights the table’s campaign-inspired character.

The design continues below with a turned baluster pedestal centered by a cast brass rope-twist collar, lending architectural balance and refinement to the silhouette. The pedestal extends into a sweeping tripod base of elegantly curved cabriole legs, each finished with protective brass sabots that reinforce the table’s classic British Colonial aesthetic. Equally at home in a traditional library, plantation-style interior, or Palm Beach Regency setting, this piece blends historical influence with everyday versatility. See less
