sidetblfrt.JPGSide table, front view99 viewsIn all its glory, the table sent by my mother-in-law. I am unsure of the wood, but I believe it's elm. Not sure of the provenance, either, but certainly 19th century or before.madwing

sidetblend.JPGSide table116 viewsA side view of the end table. The loveseat it's against is fairly standard arm height, so it's actually a little tall for what we want (hmmm, maybe i should cut off a couple-three inches of the legs...;)madwing
