Lot 114
An American Gothic Carved Walnut Center Table, c. 1845, New York, octagonal variegated marble top, lancet frieze, chamfered stem with buttress supports, disc feet, height 29 1/2 in., diameter 35 in Exhibited: Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 1976. Illustrated: Sherrill, "Living with Antiques", The Magazine Antiques, (May 1976), p. 1039; Lebow, "A Gothic Tale", House and Garden, May 1987, p. 196; Howe and Warren, The Gothic Revival Style in America, p. 40; and Dubrow, American Furniture of the 19th Century, p. 64. Note: A center table by Thomas Brooks with nearly identical frieze and supports to those on this lot furnishes the South parlor at Roseland, the Henry Bowen home built in 1846 in Woodstock, Connecticut. The sophisticated use of buttress supports such as those on this and the Roseland table is rare amongst American cabinetmakers. A. Welby Pugin published a design for a center table with buttress supports in The True Principals of Pointed or Christian Architecture, 1841, p. 41.
