Joined table with drawer
Unknown
1690–1710 · Soft maple, red oak, white pine · The American Wing
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)
