Dressing Table
Unknown
1762–90 · Mahogany, mahogany veneer, tulip poplar, yellow pine, white cedar · The American Wing
This dressing table was made en suite with a high chest (18.110.4) and doubtless in the same shop. Careful examination, however, suggests that the pieces were carved by different hands. The carving here, though superficially similar to that on the high chest, exhibits a greater depth and sense of liveliness.
