Catalogue Note
This dressing table relates directly to an example in the Mabel Brady Garvan Collections (see Gerald Ward, American Case Furniture, (New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 1988), no.102, p. 108). Both have identically carved feet and central skirt profile. Remnants of black paint on the underside of the frame and top and sides of drawers may indicate that the table was once japanned.
