Catalogue Note
This cherry dressing table relates to numerous examples from Connecticut with skirts of similar shape and fan-carved drawers. A related dressing table, also in cherry, with the same drawer arrangement is in the collection of Yale University (see Gerald Ward, American Case Furniture, New Haven, 1988, no. 105, p. 212).
