This table's leg turnings relate directly to the turnings found on other early eighteenth century Hudson River Valley tables. Peter Kenny's landmark article "Flat Gates, Draw Bars, Twists, and Urns: New York's Distinctive, Early Baroque Oval Tables with Falling Leaves," American Furniture 1994, ed. Luke Beckerdite, (Milwaukee, WI: Chipstone Foundation, 1994), pp. 106-135 discusses a number of tables with related leg turnings. Very few New York rectangular fixed top tables from this early baroque period have survived.
