EASTLAKE SIDE TABLE 1870-90



I have recently acquired this Eastlake marble-top side table here in northern Illinois. It is aVictorian burl walnut piece from 1870-90. The style is attributed to Charles Eastlake (1836-1906) who was an architect and a writer from England.

His book Hints on Household Taste in Furniture, Upholstery, and Other Details suggested that furniture and decor in people's homes should be made by hand or machine workers who took personal pride in their work.

This is a wonderful example of an American Eastlake piece in excellent condition.

$350
