Antique Federal-Style Walnut Demilune Console Table Pair with Butterfly Hinges
Annihilate the landfill, host dinner parties with 200 years of good bones
This is the real deal: a pair of solid walnut demilune tables that join to form a proper round dining surface, Federal period or a very convincing early 19th-century piece. The butterfly hinges are original brass, the tapered legs are hand-shaped, and that figured walnut top has the patina of actual use — not distressing from a factory in Vietnam. Surface shows honest wear: light scratches, some color variation from sun exposure, minor separation at the center seam. Structurally sound and ready for another century.
The D'Beetle Difference
• Convertible Two-In-One Design: Use as matching demilune console tables against walls, or join them for an intimate round dining table. The kind of flexibility Cambridge apartments demand.
• Solid Walnut Construction: Book-matched figured walnut top with visible cathedral grain. Tapered square legs with mortise-and-tenon joinery. No veneers, no particle board — just wood that's outlived its original owners.
• Original Brass Butterfly Hinges: Hand-forged brass hinges with appropriate patina and wear. Still functioning after two centuries of dinner parties and card games.
