Tables

I've attempted to organize the tables by type, and then within each type, chronologically. Paintings and illustrations have been included where they show particularly interesting details of a table's design or construction. This page focuses on two types of trestle tables for now, but may be expanded to other types of tables later. For additional links on this subject, click here.


TRESTLE TABLES - TYPE 1 (Tabletops supported by two or more sawhorse-like trestles, which are not otherwise interconnected; no apparent connection to tabletop)

TRESTLE TABLES - TYPE 2 (Tabletops supported by two or more trestles, generally two-footed or four-footed, which are interconnected with long support beams under the table, often with mortise-and-tenon joints holding the beam to the legs)
