1773 Night Stand W/Drawer

Reclaimed Bourbon Barrel End Table — Colonial Craft, Distiller’s Oak, Gentleman’s Refinement

Built from authentic American bourbon barrel oak, this heirloom end table marries early-American practicality with refined colonial furniture tradition. Each curved leg is shaped from genuine barrel staves — once bent by flame, strengthened by iron hoops, and seasoned through years of aging spirit in houses across the American South. The barrel head forms the tabletop, bearing honest marks of char, grain, and history.

True to the values of 18th-century craftsmanship, we preserve the timber’s story rather than erase it. Subtle char, coopering impressions, and natural color variation remain visible — respectful echoes of the barrel’s former life in service to American distillers.

Fitted within the frame is a finely crafted drawer — white oak case, poplar drawer body — sourced from a small Kentucky mill, just as early cabinetmakers relied on regional sawyers and local lumbermen. Set on quiet, smooth glides, the drawer offers graceful movement and refined functionality suitable for a colonial-style parlor, reading room, or modern study.

Sealed by hand with multiple coats of protective finish, this table stands ≈ 24” H × 13” W × 21.5” D, ready to hold a lamp, a book, a glass, or a moment of quiet reflection. Rugged where it should be, refined where it must be — as all proper furniture once was.

A cooper’s work preserved. A cabinetmaker’s pride applied. An heirloom built for tavern-warm spaces and gentlemanly rooms alike.
