Benedict “Butterfly”
Shown here is one of our previous restorations the Benedict “Butterfly”.
Benedict was a manufacturer of significance in the Syracuse, NY area. Their designs were artistic, tasteful, ornate, and eccentric. Their inlay patterns are unique in that they are more representational -vines draping through rings and recognizable flora and fauna.
Their legs are a signature design and their carved tables are High East Lake style.
We have a special affinity for these tables and consider ourselves “the Benedict Experts”. Because they were a regional company and we are geographically close to their area of origin, we have had the privilege of restoring several of these tables and “know them” probably better than anyone. We procure them whenever possible, though this is difficult, as these tables cast a spell on their owners. We do have a few Benedicts in unrestored inventory.
