Set up, it stands on peg-adjustable maple legs — a ladder of doweled stops that raises or lowers each end independently — with X-stretchers keeping the whole thing rigid enough to bear a person, because that's the job it was built for. The tops wear slate-blue upholstery, softly distressed like worn saddle leather, finished with a full perimeter of hand-set antiqued nailheads over the pale maple skirt. Split the hasps and it's two benches; fold the legs and it's two cases with handles, gone into a closet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Provenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a portable treatment table — the folding, sectional kind that traveled with massage therapists, chiropractors, team trainers, and visiting nurses through the middle decades of the century. The postwar hardwood versions were built like good luggage: solid maple frames, doweled leg adjustment, case hasps, and stitched leather handles — details that place this table before the aluminum-and-nylon turn of the late seventies. The two-piece latching format is the most versatile of the breed: one table, two benches, or two carrying cases, depending on the day. Tables like this earned their keep in house calls and locker rooms for twenty years, then outlived the trade that made them — which is why the survivors are almost always the well-built ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes on this piece\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe upholstery is new from our workshop: distressed slate-blue vinyl over fresh padding, edged in individually set antiqued nailheads. The maple base was cleaned and left in its original finish. The folding and latching hardware is original and functions as built. We restore pieces to be used, and we'd rather tell you exactly what was done than leave you wondering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eField\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eObject\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo-section folding treatment table \/ bench pair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnattributed, American\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMidcentury utilitarian\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterials\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid maple frame, upholstered tops, nailhead trim, steel hardware, leather handles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMechanism\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFolding legs with doweled height adjustment; case hasps joining the sections; carry handles on each half\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo latching rectangular sections forming one long padded table; freestanding as individual benches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEra\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ec. 1955–1975\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRestoration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNewly reupholstered in our workshop; original hardware retained; base in original finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 72″ long × 24″ deep × 26″ high overall; each section approx. 36″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExcellent restored condition.

End-of-bed bench, or split into two for twin rooms. Dining banquette along a wall. Fitting bench in a boutique. Extra seating that arrives from the closet carrying itself by its own handles — and, if you want, a working treatment table again, because nothing about it forgot how. The blue is the kind that gets along with everything, denim-soft against wood and sharp against black steel, and the nailheads dress it well past its working-class origins. Furniture that adjusts its own height, splits in two, and folds into luggage is rare at any price. Furniture that does it looking like this is one of one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viridian Eclection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47944791425129,"sku":null,"price":765.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/0093\/9369\/files\/IMG_2260.jpg?v=1787634985","url":"https:\/\/viridianeclection.com\/products\/vintage-two-section-folding-treatment-table-slate-blue-upholstery-with-nailhead-trim-adjustable-maple-base-american-c-1955-1975","provider":"Viridian Eclection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
