Federal Demilune Table

$3,500
New York
Entry, Hall & Accent Tables

Federal-style demilune card table, made of solid mahogany and crotch-mahogany and figured maple veneer. This 18th century reproduction table features extensive handmade holly inlay decorations of bellflowers, cross-banding, and figured maple patterae that provide an amazing color contrast to the beautiful mahogany background. While the table is designed to be placed against a wall, the top does flip over and is supported by the rear-left leg, which swings out on a gate. The table measures 18"x36" (closed). The table is constructed in a true period manner. The apron is "bricklaid", then cut to a curve. The legs are solid mahogany, attached to swinging rails by mortise and tenon joints at the rear of the table, and with bridle joints to the curved apron. The upper and lower tops are cut from choice solid mahogany; and the edges are carefully highlighted by contrasting stringing.

      Kerry made the most beautiful table for us. He paid close attention to what we needed--a relatively small dining room table for our apartment that would open up to be large when we had the kids and grandkids over. I thought that would be a drop-leaf table, but he came up with a beautiful design that was more clever. He made a gorgeous cherry table that has hidden leaves under each end. When you lift up the top and pull those identical pieces out, they slide into place perfectly and the top drops down this the middle, making an 88-inch table. He was professional, the price was fair, he is clearly an artist and expert, and he chose a great shipper.

      EXCELLENT. Great communicator throughout. Kerry took the time and care to understand exactly what I wanted and worked with me as I made refinements to my design. Kerry kept me updated throughout the construction with photos and time frame. The shelves were done earlier than I expected and he delivered them personally to my home to install. The craftsmanship is impeccable. I highly recommend his work and look forward to working with him again. EXCELLENT.

      For solid walnut slab bench with steel base

      Kerry's work is top notch and he's extremely professional & easy to communicate with. He worked with me to design exactly what we wanted (a wood live-edge bench of specific dimensions-- we're going to use it as a coffee table). He kept us updated along the way, sending photos of the slab he'd chosen based on our requirements (with a bit of it oiled so we'd get a sense of how the final product would look) and sending a drawing of the placement of the flat steel legs, so we were all on the same page when he began the work. He responded quickly to messages, and the time frame was as described. Most important, the final product is GORGEOUS. Very solid and well-made, quite beautiful. BTW, I marked 5 stars for shipping b/c I had to complete that part to submit the review, but actually we decided to go pick it up ourselves since Kerry's shop is fairly close to us (though delivery was included in the price he quoted us).

      The shelves arrived on time but the large shelf was broken and sent back. He was not happy with his handler. It came back in timely manner and it is up and looks great. Did everything to my specifications. Would highly recommend him.

      Kerry was a dream to work with. We had a house fire and lost everything. We had a particular dinning room table that we looked for two months to replace and could not find. Then I found CustomMade and Kerry.
      Kerry listened to our description and knew exactly what we had. We wanted to tweek the design a little and he was more than up to the task, even offering other suggestions that made our great table even better.
      Kerry returned every text, email, and call on a timely manner and provided pictures along the way. When he got to the finishing stage, he sent us four small pieces of discarded wood that had variations of the finish we wanted. This one part of the experience makes for a finished product that you cannot be unhappy with.
