SHAKER TRESTLE TABLES - MAPLE
Shaker cabinetmakers made the design of trestle tables more graceful by using arched feet and more convenient by raising the horizontal stretcher to allow for more leg room. This robust, yet graceful, example was likely first made at the Mt. Lebanon, New York Shaker community. The original is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. We make this Trestle Table entirely in clear solid maple. Like the original, the top is a full 1 1/4" thick. Note the separate cross-pieces, called "breadboard ends", which we carefully peg in place to prevent the top from warping. The 7' version seats eight. Height is 29". Width of top is 33"; available in four lengths. Shown in Medium Stain with Lacquer Finish.
Also available in solid clear cherry at additional cost. Telephone us at (1-800-840-9121) for details.
