Lady’s Makeup Table

Published by Guarino Furniture Designs on

My favorite furniture period is Art Deco, I love this period for its elegant curves, fine materials, attention to details and outstanding craftsmanship. This table is my version of the style.

I had a large 12/4 board of Honduras Mahogany plank with a chard end on my lumber rack that I salvaged from a dump a number of years ago. I thought it would be perfect to make the sculpted legs. The design of the legs came first, which influenced all other aspects of the table.

The traditional cabinet making techniques with veneered carving and shaping combine with an ebonized finish. The drawers offer an added element of liveliness with the inclusion of rescued cherry wood.
