A collection of ornate tables, showcasing various designs and styles, featuring intricate carvings and diverse uses from writing to dining.

Cupboard American 1670-1700 Early colonial cupboards were ordinarily built in two parts, with one or both units enclosed. The trapezoidal upper section of this cupboard has one central door, while the rectangular lower portion has two doors that open onto a single compartment with a shelf. The large, boldly carved midmolding on the shelf between the upper and lower sections conceals a hidden drawer.

Traveling table (table de voyage or table pliante) ca. 1700-1720 French The Chteau de Saint-Cloud, near Paris, belonged to the ducs d'Orléans until 1785. In the estate inventory of the furnishings in the rooms of Duchesse Élisabeth Charlotte (1652-1722), called Madame, sister-in-law of Louis XIV, there is mentioned a carved writing desk made of walnut on pieds de biche (doe's feet). The French term could be taken literally, because zoomorphic feet for furniture was a very fashionable conceit in the seventeenth century. But the term could also refer to the slim, stylized S-curved legs of late Louis XIV and early Régence style that suggest the sweetly elegant stance of the deer. This leg shape, seen also on the Museum's table, appeared about 1700 at the latest-certainly not in the Rococo period, as has long been maintained.1 This refined and ingeniously constructed table 2 is a very rare example of a type of multifunctional furniture that was specifically invented for rough and spac

Pier Table 1835-40 Attributed to Workshop of Duncan Phyfe Scottish Designated for the pier wall between two windows, a pier table was considered an integral part of an elegant parlor. The mirror below the tabletop reflected light into the room, amplifying the soft glow of candle and fuel-based light sources. Two similar Phyfe pier tables are known: one, for which there is an 1834 bill of sale, is in the White House; the other, bearing the D. Phyfe & Sons label (1837-1840), was made for Phyfe's daughter Eliza Phyfe Vail (1801-1890). However, neither of those examples have scroll supports placed at a 45 degree angle to the table's top as seen here. The other two documented tables have scroll supports and bases that face straight out.

Hester Thrale, journal entry for October 26, 1775Situated between Meudon and Saint-Cloud, the Chteau de Bellevue, as its name suggests, offered beautiful prospects over the Seine River to the panorama of Paris in the distance. In 1750 Louis XV transferred the house, then just completed, to his official mistress, the marquise de Pompadour. Although modest in scale, the country residence was richly furnished by the king’s favorite, who was born Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson (1721-1764), a commoner who became a great patron of the arts. The mark of the Chteau de Bellevue (BV under a crown) and the number 59 on the frame of this night table identify it as a piece listed in an inventory drawn up in 1763, si

Date: 1762-65.The naturalistic carving on this tall chest is the work of highly skilled London-trained craftsmen who came to Philadelphia before the Revolutionary War to seek their fortunes. Characteristically, these makers took motifs from London pattern books and rearranged them to suit local tastes. Thus, the scroll pediment with finial bust and cornice moldings were taken directly from illustrations in Thomas Chippendale's famous "Gentlemen and Cabinet Maker's Director" (1762), the serpent-and-swan motif in the central bottom drawer from Thomas Johnson's " New Book of Ornaments" (1762).

Desk and Bookcase ca. 1811 American This H-shaped desk and bookcase may be the most unusual example of high-style furniture produced in the Federal period. Its design was inspired by the "Sister's Cylinder Bookcase," plate 38 in Thomas Sheraton's "Cabinet Dictionary" (London, 1803), but the maker substituted a rectangular fall-front desk between the two pedestals for Sheraton's cylindrical one. The decorative details are characteristic of fine Baltimore furniture. The double-line inlay spiraling down the turned legs can be found on at least one other piece of Baltimore furniture. The inscription refers to the date when Roswell Lyman Colt married Margaret Oliver, one of the four daughters of Robert Oliver, a millionaire merchant of Baltimore.. Desk and Bookcase 3152

Chest of Drawers c 1760-1790 Boston. This serpentine-front bombÈ chest, one of only six known, is an exceptional example of this rare form, and it has retained its original finish and brasses. Though seemingly plain in design, the bombÈ chest was quite complicated and costly to produce because it took an excellent craftsman to curve the drawer sides, mahogany front, and the interior dovetail joints to match the swell of the case. While most American furniture forms were derived from European sources and were disseminated throughout the colonies, some forms like the Boston bombÈ chest are now known to have been produced only in their specific regions..
