This is my most recent project, an interpretation of the Greene and Greene serving table from the Freeman A. Ford house in Pasadena, CA, designed in 1908. The original is a masterpiece of proportion and simplicity, and typifies the elegance of the Greenes' work. This table is done in quartered sapele, with ebony plugs and splines. I took the liberty of redesigning the front and rear aprons and rails, giving them a gentle curve, and adding cloud lifts. I carefully matched the grain in the aprons and rails to keep it continuous through the inner legs. The original had a small double segmented arc in the inverted lift on the upper rail, and I kept that detail in all of the lifts. I also added lifts to the breadboard ends, another departure from the original design. The proportions are very similar, although not exactly the same, and I kept the same layout for all of the ebony plugs in the base. The changes that I made were done in an effort to add a slightly more contemporary look, without straying too far from the Greene and Greene design aesthetic.Thanks for looking.Matt
