This Antique Federal Period Mahogany Work Table, dating to around 1840, is a striking example of American craftsmanship from the Federal period. The piece is made from richly grained mahogany, displaying deep, warm tones and showcasing the wood’s natural beauty. The two drawers are accented with finely detailed brass ring pulls, adding a touch of sophistication to the otherwise classic form.
A notable feature of this table is the side drawer, which pulls out to reveal a felt top work surface on the right-hand side, offering additional functionality. The table is supported by impressive pineapple-carved pillars at each corner, a decorative and symbolic motif of hospitality. The carved pillars are complemented by a finely turned pedestal base that rests on four elegantly curved feet, showcasing the fine craftsmanship of the period. The inlaid detailing on the sides further enhances the table’s visual appeal, blending elegance and practicality.
In excellent condition for its age, the table shows minimal signs of wear, with some sun fading visible on the top. Despite this, the mahogany remains vibrant, and the carved details, including the pineapple motifs, retain their sharpness. This work table is a perfect blend of beauty and function, making it an ideal addition to any room—whether as a desk, writing table, or decorative accent in a study or living space. 30h x 24w x 18d
