Provenance: Pook and Pook Auctions, Downingtown, Pennsylvania., September 1997; Alan Miller, Quakertown, Pennsylvania, Property from the Collection of Dudley and Constance Godfrey
Examples of this very fully developed form are extremely rare. One related example is illustrated as a "Masterpiece" in Albert Sack, The New Fine Points of Furniture, p. 297. In addition to the extravagance of the knee carving and ball and claw feet, the block support for the top (rather than a more typical birdcage), allows for a more attenuated fluted column, giving extra grace and verticality to the form.
