A superb quality and extremely rare early 19th century American Federal Period Mahogany Dressing Table of serpentine form.
Having well figured top over two frieze drawers, retaining original lions mask brass handles.
Raised on elegant carved and reeded turned tapering legs.
Attributed to Samuel Field McIntire, Salem, Massachusetts.
Samuel Field McIntire who worked in Salem, at the start of the early 19th century was the son of Samuel McIntire the widely celebrated architect, carver and maker.
He certainly inherited his father's carving skills and a little research uncovers various examples of other furniture which also features the distinctive carving and reeded decoration which is on show here.
This table is particularly appealing due to the sweet size and the fact it retains its original brassier.
It has a real elegance and could certainly be used in a bedroom as a dressing table, or alternatively as a serving or side table elsewhere in the property.
