Sculptural scroll-cut front legs add a touch of movement beneath an otherwise straightforward form, and the original turned oak knobs let the grain remain the true decorative focus. It’s a piece that exemplifies the enduring craftsmanship of turn-of-the-century American furniture — refined in execution while staying honest and simple in design.
