Description :

This is an opportunity to own a unique and authentic L. Hitchcock piece, a beautifully stenciled side table or nightstand. This piece features the classic black lacquer finish and intricate gold stencil work that are hallmarks of the Hitchcock Chair Company. The stenciling on the drawers and side panels depicts a harvest motif of gourds and leaves, which is a popular design from the company's "Harvest" series.
The table has two drawers with original eagle-and-banner porcelain and brass hardware. A truly remarkable feature of this piece is the interior of the drawers, which are lined with a newspaper dated December 4th, 1838. This detail provides a unique and verifiable insight into the history and age of the furniture, though many Hitchcock pieces are from the late 20th century or later.
This item would be a perfect addition for a collector of American furniture or anyone seeking a piece of history with both aesthetic appeal and a compelling story. Its durable construction and iconic design have allowed it to maintain its value over time.
Item Details:
  • Maker: L. Hitchcock, Hitchcocksville, Conn.
  • Material: Wood with black lacquer finish and gold stenciling.
  • Style: Early American/Federal Revival.
  • Features: Two drawers, original hardware, and historic newspaper lining dated December 4th, 1838.
  • Condition: Excellent vintage condition with minimal signs of wear.


Dimensions : 21 in W x 29 in H x 16 in D
