Joined table with drawer

American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 713

The turnings of this sophisticated and elegant table mark it as having been made in Boston. The cast-brass hardware on the drawer includes an escutcheon with a cherub’s head—a stylish touch seldom found on American furniture. The table would have been used in a parlor or dining space as a side table and would have been accompanied by similarly turned upholstered chairs, such as the Turkey-work chair (52.77.51)
