Dear Peter and Margaret,
We are also delighted that you found us on the Internet and especially glad that your furniture is still in use. We loved that wood shop and the fact that we could have the showroom in the front, the shop in the back, and the apartment upstairs. We also loved being part of the block. Remember block parties?

Hi, Marilyn.

Great to hear that your table still lives! What I love about solid wooden furniture is that when it gets beat up, you can usually sand out most of the damage.

We married in 1967 and moved into a duplex brownstone on 9th street next to Peter’s “Middle Earth” shop. We purchased three furniture items from Peter; a complete wall desk unit, a wall shelf and a free standing bookcase with two file drawers at the base. At our request, Peter designed this piece specifically for us To this day, to our enjoyment, his furniture remains in use in our study at our home in Mendham, New Jersey. They are true works of utilitarian art which have stood the test of time and are admired by many.

We are delighted to have found you on the internet and wish you well.

Peter & Margaret

Hi,
I have a dining room table made of poplar which my husband and I bought in 1969 from Peter Asher. It is a bit beat up but still so beautiful. Everyone who sees it thinks it is special. It’s as if the soul of the wood is still alive in the table. I take very good care of it and treasure it.
