Stone Empire Table

A round white top, and a pedestal that takes the job seriously.

This Empire table pairs a white-washed walnut base with a limestone top. Round pedestal tables in the Empire style were made for the centers of rooms and for small dinners, the single column leaving legroom for everyone seated. Here a swelling baluster rises from three flat, curved legs ending in bun feet. The whitewash settles into the grain, and a thin incised ring circles the pale stone near its edge. Thirty and a half inches high and thirty-eight and a half in diameter.

Four chairs and a short agenda would do it.
