Catalogue Note
This diminutive oval table is one of the most elaborately turned examples known of the form. These diminutive tables served many function in early eighteenth century New England homes. The multiple ring turnings on the legs beneath the cross stretcher relates directly to those found on a number of late seventeenth and early eighteenth century pieces with Essex County, Massachusetts histories. For additional information on trestle-base oval stationary top tables see Frances Gruber Safford, American Furniture in the Metropolitan Museum of Art: Early Colonial Period: the Seventeenth-Century and William and Mary Styles ,(New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 2007), p. 140-1, no. 56.
