This is (in my opinion at least) one of the most beautiful of the treadles. W & W knew how to make a piece of furniture as well as a fine machine. The spindles and inlays on the top make for a beautiful piece.
Thank you, it does look beautiful and I just can't wait to go pick it up. I have not seen it for a few years but think it is missing one of the top side drawers. My husband said he will make one for me to replace it and I know it won't match exactly because of all the decoration but that is fine. At least it will look complete.
