Shown here is a restored “Sunburst Union League”. This table is by Oliver. L. Briggs of Boston, but this style, and variations of it, was produced by several manufacturers. “Union League” was the model name used by BBC and they made two versions – the “Sunburst” shown here and the latter “Expert” with the” diamond-plate” over the legs.
We find that tables of this era are generally uniformly high quality across the manufacturers, with the smaller manufacturers usually matching and sometimes exceeding the quality of their BBC model counterpart.
Another Briggs of this style is currently in available unrestored inventory as well as other carved tables from this time period.
