This table is a bit of an enigma. It has a hinged top similar to a card table and can function as such but unlike a card table, is quite tall (31 ½” vs. 30”). This “gaming pier table” is related to the Haines/Connelly school of cabinetmaking in Philadelphia, circa 1810. It has a segmented mahogany veneer top, and apron. It’s in a first surface, so it’s hard to see the beauty of its top. Typical of this Philadelphia school, the lyre is fully carved. The base has a small brass mount in the center and all is supported by cabriole shaped legs with acanthus carving at the knee, again typical of the style of this school.
Height: 31 in. Depth: 17 ½ in. Width: 35 ½ in.
