SW01081:
A Mahogany and
Tiger Maple Octagonal Sheraton Sewing Table,
Salem, MA, c.1800 attributed to Nehemiah Adams

This sewing table
has the classical Nehmiah Adams leg, see
attached example from Israel Sack's inventory.
Although Sack's example has square canted
corners, this table has canted corners that
are slightly rounded and rarer. The drawer
fronts have a tiger maple facing (see detail,
which is quite special) and retain their original
lions' head pulls. This table has and old
surface, which has been waxed over the years.
It is in excellent condition and would be
a treasure in anyone's collection.
