A beautiful selection of mahogany veneers and solid wood, plus its unusual styling, makes this formal stand a standout.

 This piece is a most unusual and desirable mahogany formal style stand that dates from the 1930s or ‘40s. Over the years, our owner has seen many thousands of mahogany occasional tables, custom furniture and formal furniture designs, but in all this time he has never had this model. It has a four-leg spider base, called that because it resembles a spider’s legs, that goes down into a brass caster, a basket wood shaped pedestal with carvings of leaves in front, a dovetail drawer with the most beautiful flame mahogany veneer in front, with a larger than normal floral embossed handle, and a dainty little picket-fence molded top with a nine-section antique oxblood leather gold tool-embossed top. Everything on this piece is in its original dark reddish stain finish, and the high quality is evident. The leather top is divided like a tic-tac-toe board, so our owner jokes it can be used for a game table! There is a beautiful selection of flame mahogany, including flame mahogany sides that are five inches wide. There are flame mahogany veneers and solid mahogany wood throughout the entire stand, and it obviously cost a lot of money back in its day. Measuring 22 inches square, and 27 inches high, it‘s the perfect size. It will cost only $135 to ship this lovely stand to your home, within our normal delivery area.
