For your consideration is this Early 1900's Mission Quartersawn Oak Library Table. Mission furniture is a style of furniture that originated in the late 19th century. It traces its origins to a chair made by A.J. Forbes around 1894 for San Francisco's Swedenborgian Church. The term mission furniture was first popularized by Joseph P. McHugh of New York, a furniture manufacturer and retailer who copied these chairs and offered a line of stylistically related furnishings by 1898. Mission style is a design that emphasizes simple horizontal and vertical lines and flat panels that accentuate the grain of the wood (often oak). This table shows good construction with little wear and no substantial damage. The construction of this table is framed with oak finished with quarter sawn oak veneer. The measurements of this table are 28" x 4ft x 29".
