Lamp and Vase Tables

These tables are ideal for showing off a vase or piece of art or just putting a table lamp to work. They are standard table height (30"-32").

	Satinwood and Mahogany Lamp Table The flared legs on this table give it a 'ready to spring' look. The top panel and front apron are bee-wing satinwood--a highly prized figure at its best in satinwood. An applied bead along the bottom edge of the aprons adds a touch of interest. Finished in lacquer. $850
	Bird's Eye Maple/Cherry Tripod Table Bird's eye maple central panel offset in a softly triangular top $1000
	Mahogany and Limba Wankel Table This table has a softly triangular shape and a circular sunburst of limba, a straw colored wood. The aprons follow the curve of the edge of the top. I've done several of these in bird's eye maple and cherry also. $850
	Cherry lamp or vase table This table has a cherry sunburst top and a painted black cherry bead The legs are flared with a slight knee. $1000
	Ming Thing This table is a tall, waisted Ming table with humpbacked stretchers and a cloud rise detail at the bottom center of the aprons. I've also made these with hoofed feet which turn in at the bottom. Move your cursor over the image or click the image to see a version with hoofed feet. Use the back button to return to this page. This table is made of mahogany and the top is a bookmatched mottled mahogany slightly darker than the rest of the piece. A more authentic wood choice would be padauk which begins orange with black highlights and darkens to a distinctly purple-black color. I make my Ming tables taller than the usual western style table, usually in the 36" to 40" range. The height seems to suit them and is, I believe, stylistically accurate. The extra height brings vases and art objects closer to the eye and slims the otherwise straight, square legs. $1050
	Mahogany and Gabon Sunburst Wankel Table The softly triangular top of a three legged lamp and vase table is shown here. The legs flare just as they reach the floor. This is just visible at the bottom of the image. $850
	Sapele lamp or vase table Sapele sunburst top with painted sapele trim. Legs with knees and flares. $1000
	Walnut Triangular Table with Black Trim This table has flared legs with knees. Finished in lacquer. $850
