A Pair of Diminutive American Classical Carved Mahogany Pier Tables

Pricing & History
A Pair of Diminutive American Classical Carved Mahogany Pier Tables, c. 1840, Boston, Egyptian marble top, straight frieze, foliate pendants, scrolled supports, mirrored back, plinth base, height 33 in., widths 24 in. and 27in., depth 15 1/4 in.Note: The distinctive "C" form supports on these tables may derive from a design in John Hall's Cabinet Maker's Assistant, (plate 18, fig. 91). The differing widths, yet identical ornament on these tables, indicate that they were made to fit specific architectural spaces. The finely carved ornament, well matched veneers and restrained form seen here would be found on commissions in important Beacon Hill townhouses.
