Description
A beautifully proportioned and structurally honest American drop-leaf coffee table, manufactured by Tryner-Fletcher Co. of Los Angeles, California, circa mid-1930s to early 1940s.
The underside retains its original factory stencil reading:
TRYNER-FLETCHER CO.
LOS ANGELES, CALIF.
102-20
along with period pencil shop markings, further supporting its authenticity and regional West Coast origin.
When fully extended, the table forms a perfect 48-inch round. With leaves lowered, it converts to a compact profile, the sculpted panels dropping gracefully while the legs remain tucked beneath in their original rectangular footprint configuration "” a hallmark of early 20th-century drop-leaf engineering.
The construction is solid and substantial, featuring:
"• Solid plank top with visible leaf seams
"• Rich, natural wood grain throughout
"• Original metal swing-arm leaf supports
"• Corner block reinforcement
"• Sculpted, lathe-turned legs with subtle ring detail
"• Rectangular leg stance (wider front span, narrower side span) true to original design
The underside framing and hardware reflect period manufacturing methods consistent with 1930s American furniture production. Tryner-Fletcher was a respected Los Angeles maker known for quality traditional and Colonial Revival forms during the interwar period.
This piece reads beautifully in a transitional interior but carries the integrity of early California craftsmanship.
