Wood Tavern Table

Three turned legs, one round top, and no wobble to speak of.

This tavern table is made of walnut. Small round tables on three legs were common in English and colonial taverns and cottages, where a tripod stands steady on an uneven floor. A round top of dark walnut, worn and slightly checked, sits on a triangular apron. Three baluster-turned legs, ringed with collars, are joined at the base by a triangular stretcher on square feet. The patina is deep brown, lighter on the edges where hands and boots have passed. It is 26 inches high and 26 in diameter.

It has heard every story twice and kept quiet.
