The reeded edge of a coin is the series of grooved lines that encircle the perimeter of some U.S. coins, such as the dime and quarter. This detail was originally added to coins to prevent clipping and counterfeiting.
In furniture design, I use reeded edges to add a subtle elegance to a piece. The 3-dimensional and hand-crafted detail offers architectural interest (without being too ornate) that works well with our Plush Home transitional line. Here's an example of a reeded edge mirror frame below, but I particularly like this detail on table tops (like the Carlisle Entertainment Unit).
