A lifelong North Carolina native, Bob Timberlake began his art career at age 33 when encouraged by fellow artist Andrew Wyeth to devote himself to painting full time. An avid collector, Bob surrounds himself with decoys, enamelware, canoes, birdhouses, quilts, and other icons of rural America, which then become the subject of his sought-after American realist paintings. Bob’s warm personality and love of folk art, craftsmanship, and history are an integral part of his everyday world...and of this, his original furniture collection.

SOME INFORMATION ON BOB TIMBERLAKE, THE ARTIST
At the age of 33, Bob was encouraged by Andrew Wyeth to devote himself to painting full-time. His first three solo exhibitions at New York's Hammer Galleries were sold out days before their openings. He has held numerous solo museum exhibitions, including the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C., the Fry Museum in Seattle, and the Isetan Gallery in Tokyo. Bob designed the first Christmas Stamp for the US Postal Service, both the North Carolina and South Carolina statehood stamps, and the commemorative postcard marking the bicentennial of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

THE COLLECTOR AND DESIGNER 
An avid collector, Bob surrounds himself with things that evoke images of a simpler time: decoys, enamelware, canoes, birdhouses, quilts, antiques, and other icons of the rural South. In 1990, Bob launched a comprehensive furniture line based on his designs through Lexington Home Brands. The World of Bob Timberlake furniture collection soon became one of the most successful line introductions in the history of the industry. Bob has received some of the industry's highest awards for his designs. The Bob Timberlake collection captures the pride, attention to detail, and workmanship of theSouthern tradition of craft, translating it into the appealing, highly successful collection of home furnishings it is today.

The 0833-774 Rectangular Dining Table has 2 feltlined drawers on either end that work well for giving easy storage access to silverware or table linens. Note the warm pewter tones of the custom-designed Timberlake hardware add to the gentle, aged feel

Regents Row by Lexington Home Brands

Regents Row is an exciting new collection from Lexington that is a fresh interpretation of traditional living and classic expression. Designs in this collection retain the legacy of ribbon stripe mahogany, swirly mahogany and walnut burl veneers with decorative inlays that define borders with distinction and intricate carvings showcase hand craftsmanship. The rich heirloom finish enhances the natural character of the mahogany while the sparkle of gold leaf updates a timeless design.

The collection features two traditional, rich finishes. Heirloom is a rich brown Mahogany, and Albion is a hand applied gold-leaf (exclusive to Alexis Console).

Featured materials include ribbon stripe, cathedral and swirly Mahogany in exquisite decorative veneering and select hardwoods, with various materials on select pieces including leather, nailhead trim, brass accents, metal bases and marble tops. The hardware is custom designed, hand-cast solid brass with a polished finish. Regents Row uses lion head and lion pawn accents throughout, using the age-old process of “lost wax casting", which produces solid brass hardware with a level of detail found in fine jewelry and design elements like tufted leather, polished marble, and antique mirror. The drawer construction features English dovetails, wood runner and guides, drawer stop, and Lexington drawer plaque.

Luxurious upholstered seating features inviting shapes, deep tufted leather, and carved silhouettes with an array of custom fabrics that include velvet, silk, and tapestries.

The 452-221 Coville Dresser features swirl mahogany drawer fronts creating a sophisticated backdrop for the lions head ring pull. Unique to this particular piece are the brass collars on the post and brass lion paw foot. The top is framed in highly figured brown stripe mahogany, and a black inlay line border with Tulipwood center. The four drawers provide function beneficial to many rooms, and we believe it is perfect as a nightstand next to the Coventry Leather Sleigh Bed.

The 452-951 Britianna End Table draws attention for many design elements. The ebony veneer is accented with a brass rim and nailhead trim, and frames a beveled glass insert giving a glimpse of the metal base. Inset brass stars provide additional accents. A brass lion head ring pull is showcased at the top of each of the four curved legs and finished with a lion paw at the floor. A matching oval cocktail table is also available.
