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 is still under construction; for now, it focuses on the two types of trestle tables. 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)
