Pook and Pook Inc., Downingtown, Pennsylvania, The Collection of Richard & Joane Smith, October 30, 2010, lot 343;
Vernon Gunnion Antiques, Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

The design of the sawn inverted baluster legs and overall form relate to furniture made by the Moravian community in southeastern Pennsylvania.  A closely related table is in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art (acc. no. 1924-64-1) (see Jack L. Lindsey, Worldly Goods: The Arts of Early Pennsylvania, 1680-1758, (Philadelphia, PA: Philadelphia Museum of Art, 1999), p. 155, no. 94).
