Furniture by Anthony Leighton

32" x 17.5" x 45"

A follow-up to a previous piece, this one is built mostly in woods from Africa. The frame is wenge and the tabletop, drawer front and panels are bubinga (African rosewood). I call it "Altar" because the inset marble begs to display something very special. The mirror collects light and throws a shadow of light, almost a halo, over the marble.

This piece was awarded third place in Traditional Furniture in the 2004 Design in Wood exhibition as well as first place for Excellence in Finishing and a special award for Excellence in Workmanship.
