Marble-slab table
Unknown
1750–70 · Mahogany, white oak, sweet gum, white pine, marble · The American Wing
A New York attribution for this table is supported by its Verplanck family history and the use of local sweet gum as a secondary wood. The bold cavetto-molded skirt with mitered corners is also particular to New York–made furniture. The molded mahogany skirt hides the structural framework of the table.
