This very organic Charles P. Limbert design and has a top that is 16.5 inches in diameter and is 26-27 inches tall. Starting in the 1880's the Limbert Co. only offered them in this height with the 3/4" thick top, so this is more of a true reproduction than the others we have designed that are shorter or taller. All tables are made of 100% solid quarter sawn white oak. The stain we use matches the finish of the originals that were built over 100 years ago.
One thing you will notice about our work in the finish. The dark color appears to shine, but with a flat silky feel to it. The feel is very organic and waxy, not like you are touching a plastic surface, but rather the wood itself. When sealed correctly quarter sawn oak will last for centuries, because it is a very stable wood, the second hardest wood found naturally in the USA outside of hickory.
This Tabourette is 26-27 inches tall and has a top that is 16.5 inches in diameter that is 7/8" thick. Options for this table include two top thickness. The standard top thinckness is a little more than 3/4" thick, and the second top is about an 1 and 1/4" thick. So the standard tabourette is going to be about 26 inches tall, and the one with the thicker top will be closer to 27 inches tall. Signed by the craftsman Phil Myer.

The right mission oak lighting can add drama and elegance to your rooms. Different mission oak lamps lighting effects contribute to create that atmosphere. General or ambient mica or stained glass lighting begins to set the mood; whether turned up bright or dimmed down low. The even glow from mica shaded lamps or a mission chandelier sets the tone. The mission oak light through a pleated shade is exactly this type of warm rich light. Ambient mission oak lighting often works along with task lighting; a arts and crafts lamp pulled up next to a reading chair or next to a bed provides the direct beam of light that is task light. This is the light that lets you read or work in a dimly lit room. But it is also the contrast between general mission oak light and the sharper pools of task light that lend mystery and drama to an interior. The most romantic light is accent lighting in our world that means mica lamp shades. The gleam of candles through mica hurricanes, the glow of votives in stained glass scattered through the room across the dining table or along the mantel. Tappers aloft above a dining table, bathe the china & crystal in a soft glow, nothing is more atmospheric than mission oak light. Often all three types of light are used together a dark entrance hall glows with candles and barley a glimmer from a mission chandelier the hall gives way to the brighter sparkle from silk shades and crystal from the room beyond.
