Georgian Burl Walnut Tripod Pedestal Table From England With Rare Burl Top

An extremely rare Georgian tripod pedestal table can be found by clicking here.  This table is of exceptional quality, and is all original.

The rarity of the table comes from its apparently solid burl walnut top.  On most, if not nearly all, pieces of antique burl walnut furniture available, the burl walnut portion is a veneer.  On this particular table, the burl walnut irregularities show through on the bottom.


A table such as this is unique, as the burl walnut (or a burl of any type of wood) is an extreme rarity.  Normally a burl is caused by a reaction of a tree to some sort of disease, insect, or other environmental condition, so it does not happen to many trees.

Add to that the fact that most burls are not very large at all, and you have in this piece of furniture a very rare find indeed. This table was made in the 19th Century in England.

Art Deco Hand Blown Frosted and Clear Glass Vases

A pair of hand blown glass vases from the Art Deco in France are a beautiful and modern decoration for the collector of antiques and decoration from that period.  The Art Deco period borrowed many of its elements from other movements, such as cubism and modernism.

These influences especially can be seen in this lovely set of vases, with their square cubist shaped layered pedestals, and the interesting cubic  and modern designs in the frosted glass.  The designs in the frosted glass resemble the designs in the Chrysler building, which was also an Art Deco style building.

Stylistic elements in the vases, such as the stylized leaf veins in the clear glass, add to their charm and elegance.  This pair of vases was created in France, where the Art Deco style and movement were born.  This beautiful set of Art Deco vases would make a lovely gift, and would fit with nearly any modern decor.   They can be found by clicking here.
