Walnut Eastlake Victorian marble top parlor table, table seperates from stand, brown marble, sturdy base with lots of strong carvings typical of the Eastlake style, apprx 29-1/2" x 21-1/2" x 29". Eastlake encouraged "honesty" in construction and finishing. He called for hand crafted, solid wood furniture with rectangular joinery. He condemned the practice of using stains and varnishes to disguise inexpensive woods, calling instead for oiled, naturally colored finishes; this piece exemplifies all of his ideals.
