Made a while back. Dimensional accurate but timber wrong, I used what I had at the time, iroko salvaged from some old school lab desks. Cushion was one of the last things my mother made before she passed on.

The chair is from Enfield and the original is in figure maple
The stand from Mount Lebanon and/or Hancock. Original is cherry

There are, of course, many variations of both.

Thanks to all for the comments

This is a "Sisters' sewing table" the drawers slide out from either side.
It's not an accurate copy but an amalgamation of several of which I have poor photos but no measured example.
Must install the correct knobs when I get around to it!

(Oh, the stuff in the glass was blackcurrant cordial I think)
