In the classic arts & crafts style of Greene & Greene, this is a solid mahogany and cumalo chest table with ebony trim. Dimensions are 55" L x 30" H x 19" D, and the finish is Watco Cherry tung oil topped with a couple of coats of buffed-out paste wax. All the frame & panel case joinery is haunched mortise & tenon, pinned-through and finished with square ebony pegs, and the drawers are the traditional hand-cut Greene & Greene style exposed box joints with decorative square ebony pegs.
