This custom Old Chapel™ redesign preserves the table’s original architectural character while introducing a refined luxury-transitional aesthetic. The original beveled glass inset top remains intact and is framed by a rich Old Chapel Satin Walnut™ finish, highlighting the warmth and depth of the wood grain while eliminating unwanted orange and red undertones.

The body has been refinished in a deep Onyx Black satin finish with restrained aged-champagne gilded accents applied to select moldings and profile details. The original woven cane shelf has been intentionally preserved in its natural honey-brown tone, creating visual warmth and textural contrast against the dark architectural frame.

To improve both function and proportion, the table has been elevated with custom-designed tapered block legs beneath the original lower platform, bringing the overall height to approximately 21.5 inches. The result is a more substantial and versatile end table that feels equally at home in Organic Modern, Ralph Lauren-inspired, Transitional, or Traditional Revival interiors.

An original Barker Bros. Exchange inventory tag remains attached to the underside. The tag references the piece as a “Bunch Tbl.” (Bunching Table) and is dated March 1980, providing a documented connection to its original California retail provenance.

Whether placed beside a sofa, between a pair of lounge chairs, or used as a sculptural accent table, this piece offers a unique combination of vintage character and contemporary designer styling.
