Wallace Nutting thought this to be the finest example of Refectory Table. In 1920 he wrote: "During recent years Refectory Tables have become the most prized objects of early furniture. The original chosen as the model for this Wallace Nutting Reproduction has the most approved style of turning for its period, which was about 1690. Made with detachable top it is, nevertheless, substantial and dignified. The overhang at the ends is sufficiently great to avoid interference with the table legs when persons are seated. Colonial Refectory Tables have been decreed the vogue for library, living room, den or hall, and the Wallace Nutting Reproductions enable people who are appreciative of fine Colonial furniture to have a prized example of the period in their homes."
"With Desk No. 701, this table makes an interesting and ornamental combination."
Size: 30 1/2 X 50 inch; legs, 2 3/4 inch in diameter.
Material: Maple or Birch turnings; Birch Top."
