Limbert 251 Tabourette

Limbert_251_tabourette

The table is made by the New Charles P. Limbert Company and is a new creation in the Arts and Crafts style from artisans in the Grand Rapids area. The table is a reproduction of the original Charles P. Limbert Company’s 251 Tabourette which was made between 1892 and 1923. This table is kiln dried solid quarter sawn white oak, which is sawn in some of the finest mills in Lower Michigan. The style captures that of Arts and Crafts tables made in Grand Rapids around the turn of the 19th century. The oil-based stain matches the original rich caramel color as closely as possible, and we are using several hand rubbed coats of high quality flat lacquer, which will not water spot. The octagon top is 16” X16” and is 7/8” thick; the table is 24 inches tall. The table’s top is spline jointed, and the corbels supporting the top are mortise, and tennon. Metal fasteners are used to keep the top from cracking with age on this piece. The Tabourette can be used to compliment any mission style setting, and is great when used as a plant or lamp stand.
