S8E3 Paymaster's Desk

Jack and Jamie, the proprietors of Schramsberg Vineyards in Calistoga, California, shared the intriguing history of their distinctive table with Norm. Originally a paymaster's desk from Mexico, it was designed to be transported on horseback for the purpose of disbursing wages to laborers on-site. Crafted from reclaimed pine, this desk has been repurposed as a stylish end table and a captivating conversation starter. Its design features splayed legs with a stretcher and includes a two-sided pull-through drawer that was once used for storing cash.
