This refectory table in golden narra wood has a floating top in a mitred frame. The top is supported by an undulating apron carved with foliar motifs. The four legs are carved with grotesque masques and ball and claw feet on plinths connected by stretchers from one leg to the next. The colloquial term “dinemonyo” is derived from the grotesque masques of these tables. The masques are derived from representations of the Asian goddess Kala. It is possible that the original design of these tables which are originally of Chinese and then of South East Asian origin may have filtered to Manila and environs through the Chinese trade or through the Muslim trade through the Southern islands.
This piece dates from the 1600s and comes from an Augustinian Church in Eastern Pampanga (first built with stone in 1641.) A refectory table such as this was usually found in the convento or in the sacristy of the church. In the convento, it was used as a dining table by the priest. In the sacristy, it was used to lay-out the heavily embroidered vestment used by the priest for the holy mass.
These refectory tables with grotesque masques with ball and claw feet were standard furniture in Churches and convents since the late 16th century/late 1500s. These large ornate tables were mentioned in church inventories and travel chronicles since those times.
The most important examples of these refectory tables are the six tables at the University of Sto Tomas. There is also an important example at the Church of Calasiao Pangasinan. There is also a refectory table from Minalin Church in Pampanga now at the Archdiocesan Museum. There is a complete set of ecclesiastical furniture at the Betis Church Pampanga. A magnificent and unusually large example in golden narra wood was found by Osmundo Esguerra in a derelict building in downtown Manila about 15 years ago. It is now in the Paulino and Hetty Que collection.

This narra altar table is of a type seldom seen and is unusual because of its small size. The table stands on four Spanish feet supporting a platform, on which, extremely fine and delicate cabriole legs resting at the corners. The shoulder of each front leg is incised with an eared oval face with a shallow carved neck cloth running halfway down the leg that ends with a trifid foot.
An apron with a jig-sawed, curvilinear lower edge runs around all four sides of the mesa altar. A flat molding follows its outline of ogee curves and cusps that from lambrequins. A hole is drilled above each cusp, where the lambrequins join each other.
The upright frames of the carcass are decorated on the exposed sides with a reed molding on either side of a shallow concave surface. The single, wide drawer in front is framed with a concave molding all around and has a pair of wrought-iron handles attached to a ring and a boss. At the center of the drawer is an incised carving of a double-headed eagle, the symbol of the Augustinian Order that administered the Ilocos Region during the Spanish Period.
The table top consists of a floating narra panel with a lap jointed, instead of a mortise and tenon jointed, frame. This type of construction shows that the piece was made by a craftsman who practiced his trade away from the urban centers.

I've been a huge fan of the Antiques Roadshow ever since I was a kid when when we lived in the UK. The items that always intrigued me the most were by Robert "Mouseman" Thompson, although I only remember seeing the smaller items such as ashtrays and breadboards.
A few years ago while on Craigslist I saw an ad for a small table with a mouse on the leg. One look at the picture and I knew exactly what it was and I had to have it! After 50 miles and $20 the table was mine all mine!
The overall condition is good with some water stains on the lower legs. The surface of the table top and the mouse are perfect. I absolutely love this piece and will treasure it forever,

Long, dramatic shadows stretch across the paved patio as the late afternoon sun illuminates the empty metal chairs. The blue furniture stands out against the warm, textured ground, creating a quiet and inviting atmosphere. This peaceful scene captures a moment of stillness in a neighborhood cafe in Manchester.
Prettily decorated table for a travel themed wedding tent. The table is named Cook Islands and place names are paper aeroplanes made of airmail letters. The candelabra with pearls is a nice touch.

If you didn’t have a coffee table and end tables in the 90’s with the beveled glass inserts…where were you?! I picked these up for $25 for all three on Craigslist. They were sturdy, good lines, but the glass tops were very outdated, and blah and the wood finish was shot. I removed the glass, cut Hardiboard for the new base, and gave them a rainbow mosaic makeover. 13 different colors. They were donated to my daughter’s school for their art gallery lobby.
Table grapes? Not this year, and please don't write in about blister mites. Mites are the least of my worries right now.
This is an old black muscat, and had started Spring with the vigour of a much younger vine.
Have you ever caught the scent of grape leaves? It's the elusive taste in dolmades, something you discover if you make your own: first collect leaves, blanch, stuff, roll and cook. That blanching step has the same scent I'm smelling as I photograph this scene. As an aside, I wouldn't use leaves from this variety for dolmades. They'd be alright to donate their tannins to a batch of dill pickles, but too coarse for eating. The leaves of the purple cornichon vine further up the row; they're the ones for dolmades. Not now I suppose, and I'm not going to look.
Without leaves, I guess those mites are doomed too. Good!
