At the annual 2004 Design in Wood Exhibition

Title: "Drinks Cabinet"
Dimensions: 38" x 21" x 46" (96cm x 53cm x 116cm)
Design: The idea for this piece was spawned from the portfolio of Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann, Genius of Art Deco. Supporting the cabinet are four elegant legs, all of the fuseau a facets type. Eight facets veneered with sawn and book matched Macassar ebony, divided by bone stringing1mm wide. The bottoms of the legs are shod with ivory, and the top of each leg is set with an ivory pearl. The cabinet's exterior is wrapped in sawn Macassar ebony veneer on both sides, as well as the back. At the top of the cabinet, framed in sumptuous curves of the ogee, is a raised rectangular panel veneered with Amboina burl. It too is decorated with the diamond pattern in bone stringing, as are the two doors of this cabinet. All inlays are 1mm wide. The interior of the cabinet is veneered with sawn figured mahogany. In the center of the cabinet's floor, is a racetrack shaped tray in silver plate, for the placement of bottles of fine liqueurs. To either side of this are glass shelves for storing glasses.
The finish on this piece is a classical French polish, and the interior and underside are hand rubbed shellac. Protein glue was used throughout the construction of this cabinet; all materials employed here are historically proven to be highly archival, with proper care.
Materials: Macassar ebony and Amboina veneers over oak and alder carcass; antique ivory, bone stringing, and shellac. Interior is sawn figured mahogany veneer and shellac.
Price: $37,500.00

Coffee TableTitle: "Coffee Table II"
Dimensions: 55" x 55" x 18.75"

Materials: Legs are of aluminum with triple show chrome plating, and shod with a piece of solid Macassar ebony. The field or top of the table is made of Amboina burl veneer, (pterocarpus indicus), and inlayed with faux ivory.

All woodwork is finished with wet sanded lacquer, then meticulously hand rubbed to a silky satin sheen. The top and legs are easily removable from the ebony ogee frame for transportation and any needed repairs or refurbishment in the future as a result of normal use: Hide glue construction throughout.
