By our very essence, we are simultaneously the most isolated nation and the most universal one (and there are many historical references for these two assumptions). This very contradiction is the thing that makes us so exclusively unique as a Nation as well as a State.

Wonderful crotch grained mahogany veneered skirt and a molded edge with a patera oval inlay in multiple colors atop each of the four legs. Four tapering square legs with mahogany veneers on all sides. Ending in a stepped molded edge foot ended in a brass casing. This piece has what appears to be (heavily oxidized) yellow pine secondary wood which may place this as a mid-Atlantic (possibly Baltimore) table. When flipped over the table has five inset boards which are recessed into the pine top for stabilization. There are veneer replacements to the front and back edges as well as some areas of the legs. We acquired it in this condition and it appears to have been professionally restored and French polished. This is a very unusual table that could be a feature piece in a dining room or a foyer. Could easily serve as a server or small sideboard.
