For the first five years the standard layout consisted of opposing settees forward with a drop-leaf table between which formed a dinette or double berth. In this antique room with cane-bottom chairs, drop-leaf tables four-poster canopied bed, I've kept fitful sleep, burned lamps like torches on tabletops amidst whisper sounds, death clocks ticking, ticking, as ghosts stocking-footed their way along the spiral staircase just beyond my door, locked, a chair jammed beneath the knob. The piece is composed of long rectangular wood blocks in three sizes, joined along their long edges to create a form resembling a drop-leaf table with its two leaves hanging straight down at its sides. |
