This striking American Empire two-drawer work table, dating to around 1840, features a beautifully figured flame mahogany veneer that lends a rich depth to the piece. The clean, straight lines of the table’s form are elegantly complemented by the graceful, arched pedestal base that ends in a dramatic set of splayed, curved legs. The two drawers, adorned with glass pulls, provide functional storage while contributing to the piece’s understated elegance.
The striking flame mahogany pattern is most pronounced on the top, where the wood’s natural swirl provides a dynamic focal point. The glass pulls on the drawers add a subtle, reflective contrast against the dark mahogany, enhancing the overall refinement of the piece. This work table, in nice antique condition, is a prime example of the restrained yet sophisticated designs typical of the Empire period.
It’s a versatile piece that would make an excellent addition to a period-style home or a refined modern space. It could serve as a side table, a writing desk, or a work surface, maintaining both beauty and practicality. 29h x 19w x 18d closed 35w open
