Cushman of Bennington, Vermont began making smoking stands in 1913 — and this example shows exactly why they became the standard. The serpentine front, the barley twist corner posts, the brass lion hardware, the scalloped lower shelf, and the cabriole feet give it a Chippendale-influenced character that goes well beyond a standard smoking stand. The copper-lined humidor compartment is intact and ready for use.

In a home today it works as a distinguished accent table with concealed storage, a bedside table with genuine character, a small bar surface for a study or library, or simply a beautiful object from a documented American maker with over a century of craft behind it. The kind of piece that prompts a question every time someone sees it.

Wear and losses to finish are present and consistent with mid century age and use. Copper liner intact. See less
