Stagecoach Trunk
This

for stagecoach travel. Travelers settling the west found
comfort on their journeys by using these innovative leather trunks
as both luggage and seat cushions.
Today it serves as a cocktail table.

Explorer's Artifacts Table
Lewis and
Clark would have loved to had one of these signature tables to
display the trinkets and treasure collected during their journeys
across the northwest passage.

store displays, this curio has extra large shelves for displaying
art or collectibles. It's doors slide open to the side for
space saving.

Journeyman's
Chair
An heirloom straight out of American history.
One of the first portable chairs, this innovative design
folded up to provided traveling gentlemen with a convenient way to
bring along their most comfortable chair as they journeyed to catch
up on the latest news with their distant neighbors.

Old Timer's Creel Table
In the golden
era of fly fishing the creel served a necessary function of holding
the catch of the day. Today,
vintage creels remind us of our romantic sporting past and those
colorful and individual trout hunters who used them.
The creel baskets used in this table are better used for
string trappings from your everyday life rather than your catch of
the day.
