Lot 203
An Important American Classical Carved Mahogany Work Table, c. 1830, labeled by Charles H. White and John F. White, Philadelphia, gadrooned lift top enclosing work compartment, bolection molded drawers, foliate acanthus and bead-carved stem, anthemion collar, incurvate plinth, acanthine paw feet, scroll brackets, casters, in darkened original finish, height 29 in., width 22 in., depth 16 in. Note: Charles and John White operated a cabinet shop at 109 Walnut Street in Philadelphia from 1828 until 1851, in close proximity to the shop of David Fleetwood (95 Walnut Street). Interestingly, the carved support on this table has upswept foliage, an inversion of the more often seen "spouting fountain" supports from many Philadelphia cabinet shops, including that of Anthony Quervelle.
