Dorothy Draper style campaign credenza made by esteemed US furniture maker Thomasville circa 1970s. Old growth flaxen flared grain fruitwood (most likely pecan) from top to bottom are the hallmarks of the Embassy line. Black lacquer accents and brass pull hardware tie together British traditional and Eastern design. The door facades exhibit a diamond pattern wood inlay with contrasting color tones, presented tastefully to demonstrate a delicate ornate sensibility. Two large Interior cabinet spaces offer heaps of open storage with a single stationary shelf in each bay. No composite or MDF anywhere on this campaign credenza. Thomasville used a combination of solid hardwood interiors, solid fruitwood and veneers. We purchased this from the original owners out of time-capsule estate and nearly everything in the home was from the Thomasville Embassy...

This majestic Italian marble pedestal table, defined by bold geometry and elemental poise, stands as a sculptural anchor in any refined setting. The design features two robust black-marble pedestals—each crafted with inherent veining that whispers of natural dynamics and geological depth—positioned with tailored flexibility: they can be placed closer together for an intimate feel or spaced apart to create a dramatic, architectural stance. In its versatility, the piece can transform gracefully from dining table to console table, adapting effortlessly to stylistic or spatial needs. A substantial half-inch-thick glass top floats above the pedestals with beveled edges that capture and throw light, casting luminous reflections beneath. The transparency of the glass harmonizes with the solidity of the marble, allowing the interplay of form and weight to remain visible from every angle. The glass’s restraint highlights the pedestals’ sophistication without overwhelming the design narrative. Natural wear is modest—a few gentle nicks at the marble corners—infusing the piece with character rather than diminishing its presence. The marble, polished to a sheen, still resonates with tactile luxury, while the clean transparency of the glass preserves a modernist clarity. This table transcends mere functionality—it is an architectural statement in stone and light, a post-modern interpretation of solidity and transparency. It brings to mind the legacy of pedestal design where form and utility unify seamlessly, though reimagined here with dramatic scale and material opulence. Collectors drawn to sculptural gravitas, material elegance, and flexible design will find this piece irresistible. It stands ready to elevate fine interiors, offering both presence and narrative depth—an investment in ambiance as much as in form. Vintage 1980s black and white Neo Deco dining set. The luxurious black marble pedestal base features striking white veins and fields of mystical taupe-gray. It’s almost as if a thunderstorm was captured in stone. Dynamic white bands streak through the blackness like lighting bolts in a storm darkened sky. The 1980s enjoyed an Art Deco revival which came to be known as “Neo Deco.” This dining set is a prime example of the Neo Deco zeitgeist. The graduating arches on the chair backs emulate The Chrysler Building’s crown… an Art Deco architectural icon. The marble base’s silhouette is also informed by Art Deco architecture. The table has been updated with a newer 48″ diameter round glass top. No worry of stains on these vintage white seats. The previous owner was meticulous. In fact, the chair seats were still covered in the original plastic when we acquired the set. The base itself is a work of art, beautifully exhibiting the tenants of post-modern design. It is both decorative and simple. The designer has arranged slabs of sumptuous black marble in descending size, emanating from the center. This array of slabs cumulatively form a diamond shape when viewed from the top. The dramatic, high-back, chairs have a glossy lacquer finish that captures the same sheen as the stone pedestal table base...
