This trestle table and chairs are made in the Craftsman style. Born out of the Great Britain's Arts and Crafts furniture movement of the late 19th century, American Craftsman (or simply Craftsman) furniture is exemplified by strong, clean lines, simplicity of form, and usually emphasizes exposed joinery further enhancing the beauty of the material being used. In addition, the elements of Craftsman style furniture are generally thicker and larger than those of the Arts and Crafts style, as evidenced by the trestle legs supporting the table top.
The table can be fully disassembled - the bottom stretcher being secured to the trestle legs with a tusk tenon which is securely wedged into a thru mortise (both are elements common to Craftsman furniture)
