Octagonal Taborets

Arts and Crafts Tables. I'm building two sizes of Limbert-inspired tables, shown here in quartered white oak. The largest stands 23 inches tall and is 18 inches across. An ideal place to put your hot toddy when you're sitting in your Morris chair in front of the hearth. The smaller table is 20 inches tall and 15 inches across. A beautiful end table. Made to order (six- to eight-week lead time) and irresistible. Please contact me for details.
