The bold scale of this flat screen TV cabinet is underscored by the visual appeal of the large size of its parquetry decorated cabinet doors and the impressive base supports. The inspiration for this piece derives from the William and Mary period in England (1690 – 1705). The style is a combination of Dutch and French influences, and reflects the changing taste of the period.

Features include inlaid “warm burnished honey burl” finished parquetry pinwheel motif cabinet doors and tapered square size legged base with interlocking stretchers. This proprietary Maitland-Smith design provides a solution to the problem of hiding a modern technical device in a traditional setting.

This handsome center table gains its detailed design from period Baroque originals. The Baroque style had great influence throughout 17th and 18th century Western Europe. France, Austria, Spain, Portugal and Holland were particularly taken by the fashion. From its inception, as with most fine things of the time, the style was associated with the church and the royals. The lines and forms of this table are High Baroque, a complete arrangement of elements sympathetically assembled to create an imposing object. The table has a poise and presence typical of the style. The generous use of finely cast brass mounts adds to the visual appeal and casts the table into the realm of the very best workmanship of the Baroque era.

The most notable feature is the hand inlaid mixed wood marquetry top. The top is composed of select exacting veneers in a radiating sunburst pattern. The hand carved molding at the table’s edge is highlighted by hand applied broken gold leaf.

The curvaceous lines of the case and the refined cabriole legs are typical features found on European furniture made before 1785. Notable details include the hand cut and inlaid mother of pearl marquetry decoration of the drawer fronts. The finely cast brass drawer pulls and feet are reproductions of the period examples and are finished in an antique patina. Other details include hand carved Baroque acanthus leaf decoration, and the compound lobed drawer fronts.

The multi-step, hand-rubbed finish gives the piece an aged appeal. Our adaptation of this lady’s jewelry chest provides a variety of compartments designed for specific types of jewelry.

This plank top table with a classic Mediterranean wood and wrought iron base is part of our casual dining collection. The use of planks for the table are typical features of furniture made in the outposts of the Spanish Colonial Empire. To further suggest the limited skills of some New World artisans, the execution of the hand cut and inlaid marquetry is more casual and relaxed.

Other notable features are the neoclassic square tapered legs with fluted pilasters.
