For as long as I remember, this console and mirror stood in the living room, across from the front door. Over the years, it defined her home…solid oak, deeply carved, elegant yet sturdy— much like grandmother. When I inherited it, I placed it where I would see it every day, because it reminded me of my heritage.
Now, it is time to pass it along to someone who will appreciate it and loves that unmistakable Berkey & Gay presence and craftsmanship. I hope it finds a home where its story will continue.
It is characterized by the handcrafted carved beveled edge table-top and hand carved single drawer and raised on barley twist legs with a perfect woven stretcher between the legs.
Berkey and Gay pieces are collectible because they were one of America’s best late-Victorian/early-20th-century furniture makers, known for heavy solid oak, deep hand-carving, barley-twist legs, and Renaissance Revival styling,
42” W x 17” D x 35” to console top above the drawer with another 6” of trim above that for a total height of 39”. The mirror is 29”W x 39” T.
Features that add value:
• Hand-carved solid oak
• Barley-twist legs
• Deep relief acanthus carving
• Matching carved mirror (rare)
• Cane lower shelf
• Original finish
• Original glass (with age fogging — desirable to collectors)
This is not reproduction furniture — it is a period original.
