Lot 795
An American Classical Carved Mahogany Games Table, early 19th c., Philadelphia, possibly Joseph Barry, reeded foldover top, molded frieze with acanthus carved tablet, turned standard on stepped circular plinth, acanthus carved hipped saber legs, ending in paw feet, height 28 1/4 in., width 37 in., depth 36 1/2 in Note: The foliate tablet on the frieze, the ring turnings terminating the standard, and the four distinctive scroll legs on this table are very similar to those on a table conserved by the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The distinctive carved feet on this table are possibly indicative of the workshop of Joseph Barry; similar feet are on a pole screen attributed to Barry from the Kennedy family of Philadelphia.
