Long-time Guild member Steve Lash will present details of 3 of his period furniture reproduction pieces:
1. A Baltimore brickwork stack laminate cellarette made of mahogany with amboyna and satinwood veneers. A cellarette is a small cabinet designed to hold bottles of wine or spirits.
2. A late 18th-century ebonized pearwood mantle clock to contain a Keininger’s 250th Mozart Anniversary clock movement that played Mozart’s A Little Night Music. The clock won the 2018 National Association of Watch and Clock Collector’s Horological Crafts Competition for wood clock cases.
3. An ebonized mini-concert harp. The plans called for a square soundbox constructed of plywood, which he redesigned to produce a round soundbox. The harp was then ebonized and gilded.
