The Maple Table

Yesterday, my husband gave me the privilege of accompanying me to an antique store we have outside town. This is a significant event because while he loves antiques, my dear Stephen grows weary of the guilt trips I give myself before purchasing (or not purchasing) an item. -Yesterday was a horse of a different color. We were both amazed by the selections available, but I was not faced with my usual dilemma of deciding between two pieces because when I saw it I knew it was made for me and that it would never forgive me if I left it there...


Brass filigree and antique ivory are inlaid into the top of the table.

Can you believe that this is hand carved?!





 














... I am not sure that the seller knew what he/she had. This little baby only cost me about $72. I could be mistaken, but I thought it was a steal!
