ITEM SW00698:
A fine large scale Sheraton Three-Drawer Worktable with Opposing
Rope Legs, probably New York, c.1810
This work table is somewhat larger than work tables of its
type and boldly executed with dynamic rope turnings that run
in opposite directions alongside the upper case, providing
strong visual interest. It is in a fine state of preservation,
with vibrantly figured mahogany veneers. The top is solid
and opens to reveal a writing surface. There is a candle slide
and two additional drawers. Tacked inside the middle drawer
is the mark of a respected antique furniture dealer who formerly
owned this peice.
