federal amercian cuban mahogany dining table

In the Federal Period, the Cuban Mahogany dining table had a specimen of a 'cathedral-grained' top, hand-carved foliate-trimmed end, and corner plaques.  This versatile table seats up to 12 people or can be used as a smaller table for 4-6 people, or you can use them as two console tables.
