Eastlake furniture was named after Victorian-style architect Charles Lock Eastlake and it was popularized in the United States in the late 19th century. Thanks to a donation from Sona and Charles Aslanian, we have an Eastlake-style table made by Iskender Tufenkian. Iskender was an Armenian woodcarver who made furniture that would appeal to Americans at the turn of the century. Collections Curator Gary Lind-Sinanian points out the characteristic design elements of this handmade piece.
