The Collection

A table sets the terms of a room. Ours range from French and Italian console and center tables to bureaux plats, secretaries and writing desks, dining tables, and the small occasional pieces that hold a room together — eighteenth and nineteenth-century work in marquetry, giltwood, and marble alongside sculptural mid-century designs in walnut, lucite, and steel. Each is chosen for the drawing of its legs, the figure and condition of its top, and the joinery beneath. These are surfaces meant to be used daily and admired permanently.
