Tea Table

Reproduction of an 18th century  Connecticut Valley tea table. the original is in the Connecticut Historical Society museum in Hartford. I took a course, which involved studying and measuring the original, then reproducing it. Some of the work was done at the course, but most was done in my shop.

Tea tables such as this are not uncommon in New England. But this one has some unique features. Very thin and delicate legs, and full-width trays. The museum doesn't know who the builder was, but he knew his stuff!
