Narra, Carabao Bone, Kamagong,Lanite & Silver
H:35” x L:50” x W:27” (89 cm x 127 cm x 69 cm)
Starting bid: P 300,000
Provenance: Baliuag, Bulacan
Lot 117 of the Leon Gallery Auction on 13 June 2015. See www.leon-gallery.com/v2/gallery/AuctionData-19-Spectacula... for details.
Baliuag, a town founded in 1840, was one of the major sugar-producing towns of Bulacan in the mid-19th century. Aside from sugar, it also produced handwoven silk fabrics, known as ‘habing Baliuag’ and was famous for its finely-woven Panama hats woven from buntal, the unopened leaves of the talipot palm.
Another major industry in Baliuag was making furniture inlaid with bone. Its proximity to the vast 68,000-hectare Hacienda Buenavista, the largest estate in the islands that belonged to the San Juan de Dios Hospital in Intramuros, assured its craftsmen of an ample supply of the dried ribs and pelvises from carabaos that were needed for making the tiny geometric pieces of inlay. Baliuag furniture was greatly influenced by the Sheraton Style. The side table above has turned, tapering legs and a bone-inlaid carcass frame. The drawer support is inlaid with a row of diamond-shaped lozenges separated by small discs with blackened centers called matangpusa, cat’s eye. The upper frame is decorated with inlaid squares of bone that resemble dentils, thereby giving the piece a classical look. It has a large central drawer flanked by a small concave-faced drawer on either side. The plain arched aprons join the square upper part of the legs that are inlaid with long, thin triangular pieces of bone radiating from a small disk to form a flower with elongated petals.
The drawers all have turned drawer pulls and silver keyhole shields. Their faces are inlaid with a quadrant cornered oblong reserve in kamagong and lanite. A swag of diamond lozenges alternating with discs is draped beneath the keyhole shield.

Table (cartibulum)
Roman, early Imperial period, before A.D. 62
Found in the villa at Fondo Bottaro on the seacoast near Pompeii; buried in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79
Marble (from Mt. Pentelikon, Greece)
The supports of this table are decorated with motifs associated with Dionysus, such as griffins (here with lynx heads), vines, and bunches of grapes. Rising from lion paws, these griffins are in a decorative style known as the "grotesque" that was popular from the late Republic through the Hadrianic period (about 100 B.C. - A.D. 138). The table was found in the colonnaded walkway (or peristyle) surrounding the villa's internal garden, where it was intended to impress visitors as a display of wealth.

Opening bid: P 700,000

Lot 21 of the Leon Gallery auction in February 2020. For more information, please see leon-gallery.com
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.

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.

I thrifted this dining table yesterday for $10. TEN DOLLARS!!! I think it is a knock off but the price was right :-) It needs some love. It has been poorly spray-painted so I want to repaint it a nice glossy white. I need suggestions for good paint to use on the top (metal base and press-board/wood top) help!
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,

Sheraton Side Table
Early 20th Century
Narra, Lanite, Kamagong and Carabao Bone
H:40” x L:53” x W:25 1/4” (102 cm x 135 cm x 64 cm)
Opening bid: P 300,000
Provenance:
Baliuag, Bulacan or Angeles, Pampanga
Private Collection, United States
Lot 13 of the Leon Gallery Auction on 10 June 2017. Please see www.leon-gallery.com for more information.
The United States was the colony’s biggest trading partner during the 1st three-quarters of the 19th century. Periodicals and magazines brought in by American traders and businessmen introduced the Sheraton Style of furniture as interpreted by Duncan Phyfe in New York. The style became popular in the Philippines during the 2nd quarter of the 19th century onwards and greatly influenced furniture made in Gapan, Nueva Ecija and Baliwag, Bulacan. In the early 20th century, Teodoro Tinio of Angeles, Pampanga began making inlaid furniture that were greatly admired by American servicemen in Fort Stotsenberg (now Clark Field), who bought them to bring home to the United States as souvenirs.
This small and unusually high narra sideboard in the Sheraton Style is part of a dining set that included the so called ‘magic table’ and set of dining chairs. It has a serpentine front with a wide bow-shaped center flanked by narrower concave sides and stands on six tapering legs. The four legs in front and the two behind have turned, tapering shafts carved with reeds resting on a small bun foot topped by a turned reel surmounted by a ring. A vase and spool turning above the reeded shaft continues upward to become the carcass frame. The turned leg replaced the tapering square legs of Sheraton style furniture after the 1850s.
The square upper part of the leg has line moldings and is inlaid on the exposed sides with a stellar flower composed of eight elongated diamond-shaped lozenges radiating from a central bone disk. The two pairs of legs in front that support the concave sections are joined together by concave, bow-shaped arched aprons bordered with lanite line-inlay at the bottom and inlaid with a stellar flower in the middle. Wider, straight and narrow arched aprons with the same pattern and inlay join the side legs together.
The wide apron in the middle, actually a drawer and can be pulled out, is a double-yoke shaped arch ornamented with an inlaid pattern of symmetrical lacy vines of lanite with extremely fine diamond-shaped lozenges forming leaves. The horizontal carcass frames and drawer supports of the piece are inlaid in front and at the sides with a series of diamond-shaped lozenges within a border of molded edges.
The sideboard has a pair of drawers, one on top of each other, flanking a single, wide one at the center which is on the same level as the upper drawers. Those at the sides have concave faces, each with a keyhole and turned kamagong drawer pull inlaid with a bone disc. The bow-fronted middle drawer has a pair of pulls and a large inlaid pattern of curving vines with extremely fine diamond-shaped leaves practically covering the entire face of each drawer.
The sides of the sideboard is carved with a large almost square carved panel inlaid with a border of diamond shaped lozenges like those on the carcass frames that enclose a large pattern of lacy vines and diamond shaped leaves surrounding a stellar flower at the center.
The top of the sideboard is a single, beautifully grained narra plank with a serpentine front, its edges incised with a pair of grooved lines to form a border of straight moldings on either side of diamond-shaped lozenges of carabao bone arranged just like those in the horizontal carcass frames.

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.

Sometimes the coolest accents are found in the simplest pieces. The Hempel coffee table sports a smooth and soft top with alternating metallic legs that create a balance between thicker and heavier elements.

We found this a number of years a go for $9.98 at local Goodwill. Pretty scratched and scuffed and scrawled on. Trapped in a storage trailer for LONG time!
BUT - I am now retired and have some time - taken to my furniture fixit guy - hoping for a turnaround in 30-45 days, and we can use it for its intended purpose.
