“Addy and her family gathered for meals at a round table with a revolving tray in the center that turned so diners could serve themselves. Your wooden table is an authentic reproduction of a style from the 1800s. It’s buttermilk red with a mottled finish that resembles vinegar painting, a technique that was popular then. Addy’s wooden chairs are painted black and have sturdy woven seats. This style of chair is called “ladder-back” because the rungs on the back look just like a stepladder!” (Pleasant Company Catalogue, Holiday 1994)
