An American Classical Carved Mahogany Center Table, c. 1825, attributed to Anthony Quervelle, Philadelphia, circular tilt-top with gadrooned molding, lotus-carved support, bronze collar; incurvate triangular plinth base with distinctive winged paw feet, height 28 in., diameter 40 1/4 in.
- Notes: Note: A center table bearing two labels from the shop of Anthony Quervelle, and having an identical standard and collar to that seen here, is conserved by the Metropolitan Museum of Art (acc. 68.96). Quervelle made similar examples for the White House in 1829 and a table for the Bache Family of Philadelphia. The design of this table belongs to a small group of tables in Quervelle¹s oeuvre based on designs from George Smith¹s 1808 Collection of Designs for Household Furniture, pl. 89.
