The Piece
Meet your new “do-everything” console. Born in the post-war years (c. 1948–1955), this Early American–revival table brings warm curves and practical storage in one graceful silhouette. The softly serpentine top invites a lamp and a vignette; the center book trough corrals magazines or records; the full lower shelf handles baskets, barware, or extra blankets. It’s compact, hardworking, and quietly handsome—perfect for entry, living room, or hallway.
Design & Construction
→ Form & Style: A molded “cookie-edge” top floats over baluster-turned legs; side panels rise to cradle the center trough; a full base shelf grounds the piece.
→ Materials: Maple/birch frame with veneered top and shelves—classic post-war construction—refreshed in a two-tone finish: walnut-stained wood surfaces + antique-cream base.
→ Details You’ll Love: The gentle wave of the top edge, the tactile turnings, and proportions made for modern living (narrow depth, just-right height).
