• Notes:
  Turning was often employed as a creative element in Western Australian furniture. Incorporating fourteen individual turned components - feet, spindle legs, collar, column and four drop finials - this unusual table is similar to a wine tabel displayed at the National Trust property Woodbride at Guildford on the banks of the Swan River. The tables were probably the work of a turner rather than a cabinet maker.
