First appearing in Assyrian architecture as a type of decorative running ornament featuring two intertwining bands that repeat in a pattern of crossing intervals, it continued through Greek and Roman culture, then became known in 18th-century France as guilloche, which spread throughout the Georgian period in England. It symbolized unity and eternity. In furniture, these designs were often botanically inspired, appearing as waves, snowflakes, ribbons, and—in the case of this altar table—interlocking rings colloquially called nowadays the ‘Olympic’ motif, referencing the Olympic rings created in 1913 by Pierre de Coubertin.
Placed in the most prestigious spot in the main living room of a colonial home, the family’s venerated santo images were enshrined on top of the altar table; prayer books, rosaries, candles, santo garments, and other important items were stored in its drawers. Made entirely of dark balayong wood (Afzelia rhomboidea), a highly prized rosewood, it features a reddish-brown hue that darkens with age. A solid one-piece top rests on a frame with two smaller drawers above a larger one, all fitted with silver escutcheons and hand-hammered iron drop bail handles, and inlaid with fine borders of kamagong and lanite wood looping below the keyhole and sharply caving at the corners. The Olympic motif, carved in low relief, appears vividly on all four side flanges that taper downward with ogee-shaped extensions, as well as on the front and side aprons, creating a beautifully balanced piece of colonial furniture. Standing on square tapered legs, placing its age fittingly around the middle of the 19th century.

I like the cladding of the building at the back ver much. This shot was taken round the back of the Media-Tic building, I like the emptyness and the tininess of the table.
Curly maple veneer bordered by solid maple, engineered with flip-up spine providing power/data hook-ups.
This classic-styled end table was fabricated with elegance in mind. A simple, 3 legged curved design with a 4" steel ball connector holds a 21" diameter light-colored travertine top. Sturdy yet rather light weight, it can be placed on the side of a sofa or couch. Top is sealed, so it is perfect for ashtrays or drinks. This finish is a bit different than our usual blackened steel. It has a slight amber hue within the black and slightly rubbed so the edges of the cold rolled steel "pop" to accentuate its flowing lines. Protected in a satin lacquer finish.
13th/14th century English oak table echoing Arthurian legend. It now hangs on the west wall of the Great Hall in Winchester, moved in 1873 from the east wall.
The 13th century Great Hall is the only surviving part of Winchester Castle, which was originally built for William the Conqueror although the Great Hall dates to extensive renovations carried out by Henry III between 1222 and 1235.

This one inch scale pink and green table is 2 1/2 inches high and 2 inches across the top. The skirt is made of a teeny tiny pink and white check cotton fabric and is trimmed in delicate lace. The topper is a 4 inch square, hand made, pieced quilt, in pink and green fabrics. The quilt contains 100 tiny 1/4 inch squares meticulously stitched together and framed in a border of green.
This is a one of a kind item and is signed by me.
Serpentine tables make a complete circle when you put four of them end to end. The standard size creates a ten foot outside diameter with a five foot inside diameter.
If you put four together and then put a 60" round table in the middle, you get a ten foot diameter table. That would be large enough to seat twenty people.
They are also used by putting two together, creating a half circle to use as a beverage station
