This blog changed from a daily blog to a blog to celebrate the folk art of Kerras Jeffery, as well as his reproduction furniture and other projects. His studio & shop closed in 2017 following his passing.

Sofa Table made with iron cresting

     I had this old cast iron trim piece for a while and thought it would look good as a sofa table. 
     The iron piece (also known as "iron cresting") came from the Hennessey Cutcliffe Funeral Home, 35 Longworth Ave., Charlottetown - the house was built in 1876 for Premier Lemuel Owen and became a funeral home in the 1960s.  
 The table measures 36" high by 43" wide.
     Below is a photo showing the "iron cresting" trimming the verandah roof - it would have been originally on the tower roof and main roof.  The photo cf. http://www.city.charlottetown.pe.ca/searchaproperty.php?propid=2250
