This piece is a vintage Regency or Georgian style mahogany drum table, manufactured by the A.H. Stiehl Furniture Company of New York. Item Description These types of tables, often referred to as "rent tables," were traditionally used by landlords to keep account of rent money, with labeled drawers for different days or records. This specific model typically features: Design: A circular rotating top, often inset with tooled leather. Storage: A "drum" frieze containing multiple drawers, sometimes featuring a mix of real and "trompe l'oeil" (imitation) drawers. Base: A central turned pedestal supported by three or four splayed legs, often terminating in brass casters or "hairy paw" feet. Material: Predominantly crafted from mahogany, a common wood for high-quality furniture of this era. A.H. Stiehl Furniture Company The Stiehl Furniture Company was active in New York City during the early-to-mid 20th century. They were known for producing high-quality Regency and Federal style reproductions. Many of their pieces from the 1930s and 1940s remain sought after by collectors today. The sticker from the Mahogany Association Inc. on your table is a certificate of authenticity, not a manufacturer's name. It guarantees that the piece of furniture is made of genuine mahogany and not from an inferior, merely stained wood. Here are the most important details about this label: Meaning and Purpose The Mahogany Association was a trade organization (active from approximately 1918 to 1969) that was founded to protect buyers from imitations. During this period, cheaper woods such as birch or poplar were often stained to resemble expensive mahogany. The seal was intended to give the customer the same assurance as a hallmark on silver or gold. The Color of the Label Blue sticker: The piece uses mahogany veneer (often on plywood), which is very common for this type of drum table due to the large round surface. Identifying the Manufacturer Each sticker contains a small number at the bottom. This number is assigned to a specific manufacturer: 123: Imperial Furniture Company (Grand Rapids, Michigan). 160: Drexel Furniture. 183: Stiehl Furniture Company 225: Georgetown Galleries. 542: Hekman Furniture Dating Since the Mahogany Association ceased operations in 1969, you can be certain that your table was manufactured before that year (likely between 1936 and the 1960s).
