Americana at its best; a 19th-20th Century, North Dakota Cabinetmaker, Herbert Asp, made this occasional table by hand, in the winter of 1917. His wife created the embroidery which is designed to stretch under the glass top. The embroidery is against a needlepoint type backing, and is of silk thread; "before" photos show it against yellow satin background. The table is solid wood, in a Queen Anne Style, with valanced skirts on all four sides, picture-frame top with glass, cabriole legs, ending in elongated pad feet. No nails were used in the basic construction of this table; we have included a photo of the pegs upon which the top rests; screws were used on the embroidery backing. A fine piece of early 20th Century American handmade furniture. c. 1917. Measurements: 19" (48.26 cm) tall, the top is 25" x 20" (63.5 cm x 50.8 cm), with a 2.5" (6.35 cm) border With the exception of very few wear scratches, and one small abrasion on a foot, the table is in remarkably excellent condition. Embroidery has sustained damage when it was professionally cleaned; see before and after photos; it is intact for the most part, and salvagable. We suggest it might be sewn to a new fabric backing around each pattern, and the netting cut away, preserving all of the original embroidery. This piece remained with the maker's family until purchased by Barclay Galleries. Family attests to the age. Shipping quote on request. |
