George Hunzinger Marble Top Table

November 9, 2007

Although unmarked, I am attributing this table to George Hunzinger. This is a great example of his table designs which you can view in the Barry Harwood book on Hunzinger, pages 80-82. This one has ebonized touches on the balls as well as an incised central ball and red-and-white marble top.

Kimbel & Cabus & Bembe, Oh My!

May 27, 2007

With a desk of that depth, I would think two people could almost work together on that surface on [...]
