attributed to Potomac River Valley, Georgetown/Alexandria area, circa 1760, figured walnut top with rounded corners above four figured drawers, dovetailed construction with poplar, pine, and white cedar secondary, scalloped skirts, cabriole legs with pad feet, 30 x 36 x 20 in.
Provenance: Sumpter Priddy AntiquesNote:The accompanying write up by Sumpter Priddy Antiques indicates that "the table is attributed with confidence to a small circle of mid 18th century, Georgetown joiners, among whom two stand out..."
Condition
brasses replaced, typical minor bumps at corners of drawer facings, no leg or foot repairs found, top with later blocking and evidence of previous brace now removed, top currently loose, minor warping and finish distress to top. (There is some small disparity between hole history in top and base, suggesting the base was perhaps fitted with another top at one point. However, this period top does appear to be original to the table with perfectly matched timber, matching primary attachment holes, and other physical evidence. In addition, the top on this table is identical in form to other known tables from this shop.)
