Persian Carpet coffee table
a table in English cherry and burr maple designed for a Georgian drawing room
|
This coffee table was designed to sit between two comfy cream sofas in front of the fire in the drawing room of a Georgian manor house.
The legs and inlay are inspired by the graceful stems in the floral design on an antique Persian carpet in the room. The table balances the formal symmetry of a Georgian room with the informality of the family home.

Great table Grant, couple of questions, what did you use as a base material for the top and where did you source the veneer?
Did you use a Domino jointer for the loose tenons in the legs and rails?
Regards, Mark white.
Thanks, Mark. The veneer was from Capital Crispin in London and is on 18mm medite mdf. All joinery is using dominos – a bit of a challenge with the angles involved. I’m glad you like it. You work with wood?
Thanks for the reply Grant, yes I work with wood, I have been a carpenter & joiner for the past 25 years specializing in kitchens.
Three years ago I decided to study furniture making at Bridgwater college in Somerset and am now in my third year of a City & Guilds course.
I particularly liked the veneered top on your table, I also know how tricky the angles for the rails are, I made an oak coffee table with the legs set at 45 degrees, made more difficult by not having a Domino Jointer.
