Listing 2 • Berkshire No. 03
Bench-Made Traditional Craftsmanship
A Councill Craftsmen Queen Anne style lowboy—flame-veneered top with satinwood crossbanding and fan inlay, three drawers with original pierced brass batwing pulls, a shaped and scalloped apron, and elegantly drawn cabriole legs on pad feet.
Councill Craftsmen of Denton, North Carolina built bench-made reproductions to a standard that rivals the eighteenth-century originals they honored, and this piece shows it: the inlaid top reads cleanly edge to edge, the drawer surrounds are crisp, and the Councill medallion is present and documented along with the dovetail construction.
Sized to work as an entry console, an accent piece, or a small writing table.

The Walkwood Restoration
Damage Resolved, Detail Preserved
This piece survived real damage—the original top had failed badly—and was taken to bare wood and rebuilt to studio standard, preserving the intact inlaid medallion and border.
It now presents with an even satin sheen and no evidence of its former condition. That is what restoration means here: not covering a problem, but resolving it.
