ITEM SW00025: A Fine Classical Mahogany Dressing Table, North Shore, c.1825

This table is in a fine state of preservation with acanthus carving reminiscent of the McIntyre School in the North Shore of Massachusetts. The craftsmanship is evident throughout and the richness of the mahogany gives this piece an especial quality. There are many of these forms, some with spiral legs, some reeded, some thicker, and some thinner. But, their statuesque nature of these legs, with reeds, turning, and the special North Shore Leaf common and often identified with Salem, and Essex County furniture is clearly evident. Interestingly, these drawers never had pulls of handles, and it has been highly French polished but all above its rich variegated and colored mahogany.

Height: 39 in. Width: 37 in. Depth: 19 3/4 in.
