Country Manor - European Casual with Endless Possibilities

Drawing on the relaxed country lifestyles of England, Italy and France, Marge Carson proudly introduces Country Manor, a collection of casual bedroom, dining room and occasional furniture that combines Old World European influences with extensive custom capabilities.

Country Manor is a 19-piece case goods collection whose elegance is in its simplicity. However, its versatility in custom sizes offer endless possibilities. The casual European country design is enhanced with artful distressing and finishing treatments. Appointed with antique nickel or brass hand cast hardware, Country Manor is made all the more personal with wood top options of "plank" or "basket weave" patterns as well as inset stone.

Marge Carson's wood finishes set the benchmark for depth and clarity.Three new finish introductions continue this tradition. Wiltshire reflects a deep caramel color while Devonshire conveys a lighter, soft honey tone and Driftwood features a unique sun bleached, weathered gray finish. All three are stunning additions to the broad palate of finishes offered by Marge Carson.

"Country Manor is a superb fit within our collection assortment," said company president Will Sharp. "The demand for relaxed and casual European-influenced furniture remains strong. By focusing our core talents - outstanding designs, exceptional hand crafted finishes and overall attention to details - into this popular category we are able to provide discerning consumers with handsome casual furnishings that meet their demands for style, quality and customization."

Bench-made detailing, carefully selected oak veneers and white teak solids, custom sizing and finishes; Marge Carson's new Country Manor dining table offers the best Old World styling with options to meet any design challenge.

This exquisitely handcrafted table is available in lengths from 76 to 162 inches with two base options. The wood tops can be either rustic planks or a refined basket weave design and further accented with hand carved fleur-de-lis details or rustic pegs.

Combine that with a selection of over 50 luxurious finishes and trims, the perfect dining table is limited to your imagination.

Featured here is a 48" x 96" dining table with a hand carved base and accented with a decorative curved metal stretcher. The top features the basket weave pattern and is accented with fleur-de-lis top corner carvings. It is finished in a rich caramel color called Wiltshire with aged gold trim.

Round pedestal tables in both stationary and extension leaf options are also available making this truly a customized collection to fit every need.

Marge Carson's Country Manor extends its versatility to the cabinetry as well. The credenza is offered in three lengths with three optional base and door designs that include distinctive hardware. To further the customization, there are two optional wood tops, plank and basket weave, as well as an inset stone option. This handcrafted credenza also offers an optional infra-red sensor that can operate the audio visual equipment housed within.

The 3-door version shown here showcases the bun foot and framed molded door style base with the basket weave patterned top and antique brass hardware. Finished in Old World Briar with aged gold trim, this credenza includes the infa-red audio visual sensor above the center drawer.

Classic and simple this versatile square columned console is available in three styles of 2, 3 and 4 column designs that can range from 48" to 120"in length. This old world design features an optional plank or basket weave patterned top and is fitted with a drawer between each column. This versatile piece is equally at home in a foyer, as a library table behind a sofa, or even as a kitchen island.

The three column 80"x 26"x 36"high console shown here is enhanced by a rich, Old World Briar finish with aged gold trim, and features the handcrafted distressed plank top design.
