After Dinner Drinks Table

From the Althorp Living History collection, the After Dinner Drinks Table by Theodore Alexander is a study in considered proportion — a perfectly scaled cube of presence, its twenty-six-inch form inviting intimate arrangement beside a favored chair or at the edge of a well-appointed room. Khaya wood and a refined layering of khaya, okoumé, morado, and anigre veneers compose its surface, the interplay of grain and tone lending a quiet complexity that rewards close attention. Brass appointments punctuate the composition with the kind of warm, enduring finish that speaks to classical tradition without apology. It is the sort of piece that anchors a room as effortlessly as it serves one.
