Country Hepplewhite Coffee Table
This coffee table was built as part of a matched set of four tables for a customer's living room. The table tops for
this set were all made from a matched set of highly figured tiger maple (each board was 18-19" wide). The overall
design complements a wide variety of styles and has roots in period pieces of country Hepplewhite styles as well
as traditional shaker pieces. The table base was constructed from solid curly cherry base and the drawer fronts
were selected from a set of highly figured curly bird's eye maple. This table features two drawers with brass
reproduction pulls. The overall dimensions of table is approximately 18" high x 24" deep x 44" wide. The
construction includes a pinned mortise and tenon joinery, matched wide board tops, hand cut dovetail drawer
joinery, a decorative bead around the apron, reproduction brass pulls and tapered legs.
