Lot 285
A Fine American Classical Carved and Inlaid Mahogany Games Table, New York, foldover top with brass inlaid edge; on ring-turned and pineapple carved supports joined by an incurvate stretcher, acanthine paw feet, casters, height 29 in. width 36 in. depth 18 in Note: The four carved supports, incurvate plinth and distinctive paw feet on this table relate closely to a games table made by Duncan Phyfe for the Brinckerhoff family, those on a worktable bearing Duncan Phyfe's label at Winterthur, and interestingly a breakfast table from a New York cabinet shop in the Yale University Art Gallery. The sophisticated figured veneer and brass stringing on this table is nearly identical to that on a games table attributed to Duncan Phyfe illustrated in Stuart Feld. Of the Newest Fashion. p. 24, figs. 15a-b. Reference: Sloane. "A Duncan Phyfe Bill and the Furniture it Documents," Magazine Antiques. (May, 1987), p. 1111, fig. 6. Montgomery.
