Regency Pen Work Table, Ca. 1825

England Ca. 1825

Regency Pen Work Table, Ca. 1825, the pen work over a very dark green/ black ground. The rectangular top with ovolo corners above a case with one drawer with original silvered copper ring pulls over a hanging sewing bag. The pull out pleated green sewing bag with fringe and swagged cord and tassels. All above a plinth supported by 4 down sweeping legs ending in brass paw casters.

While most furniture finished in pen work of the late 18th and early 19th centuries have severely deteriorated decoration, this table is in particularly well preserved condition.

American Federal Dressing or Shaving Mirror, Ca. 1820

A fine high style example possibly made in Rhode Island in the first quarter of the 19th century. It is made from mahogany with pine and chestnut secondary woods. Curiously, it never had finials on the mirror supports.
