Winter greetings,
     Below is a dazzling satinwood George III Hepplewhite style pier table.  The swell front overhang top is covered with brilliant satinwood which is twice banded in contrasting inlays of rosewood, then banded and bound at the edges again. Exotic woods such as satinwood and rosewood were brought to English furniture makers in the 18th century by traders sailing back from India or the Caribbean islands and used for their exotic colors and grains. The apron is filled with satinwood and flanked by contrasting inlaid tablets above each square tapered leg incorporating "stop-fluted" or "engaged " carved columns on cuffed feet in old dark mahogany finish.
    Pieces of lighter wood can provide welcome contrast and relief to a room of dark hardwoods. No major repairs. H. 32", d. 17.5", w. 48". Incomparable at $2200.




   
Oil on canvas by John McPherson (1844+)
This satisfying brush work in oil on canvas is crisp and light, offering a broad landscape view with a shepherd and sheep at the foreground. This calming scene sits in a well chosen later frame. H. 17" by 25". A breath of fresh air for winter enjoyment, $995.

 
 

W. H. Maunders, 19th century.
