Catalogue Note
This table closely relates to a cherry porringer top one-drawer stand illustrated in a Nathan Liverant and Son advertisement in The Magazine Antiques for October 1994. Both tables display a porringer-top with very similar inlaid decoration. The porringer-top form was popular in Rhode Island during the mid-18th century. The table illustrated in Antiques features straight turned Queen Anne legs and a scrolled apron similar to those found on stands made along the Eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island border, particularly in the Stonington and Mystic areas.
