Pepper Table With Stems

Nutt's Pepper Tables have been called "icons" of American studio furniture.  Growing from the artist's love of gardening and hot foods, this table sports carved cayenne chile legs.  The top of this table is inlaid with red and green dyed wood stringing and a border of small red peppers with squiggly stems.
