Card Table

1760–90 · Mahogany, white oak, yellow poplar, white pine · The American Wing

The most sophisticated New York Chippendale-style card tables have serpentine sides, shaped corners, gadrooned skirts, and five cabriole legs ending in claw-and-ball feet. The square corners supported candlesticks, and the four oval dishes held gaming counters.
