Here's a couple of pieces I picked up and restored this past year. The first is a dining table I restored a few months ago. It is actually solid rosewood and has such a beautiful grain. I ended up getting it for free, used an abused, it looked nothing like this when I picked it up.
The second is a France & Son teak coffee table, which I found complete, on top of a pile of garbage in Union Square. This table is also solid wood, no veneer. I haven't been able to determine who designed it, but I don't really care because I'd rather not sell it.
Not pictured, my original Saarinen Tulip Dining Table for Knoll, also found in the garbage, on Bowery.
