This late Federal mahogany pier table, crafted around 1840, elegantly showcases the aesthetic preferences and skilled craftsmanship of its era. Featuring stately paw feet, this table exemplifies the period’s attention to detail and ornamental design. The base supports a sophisticated surface adorned with rich, lustrous mahogany veneer, which has undergone meticulous repairs to maintain its integrity and historical value.
The table’s structure is complemented by original brass hardware on the drawers, enhancing its authentic charm. However, it does show signs of its age and provenance, including some minor chipping along the edges of the tabletop and expertly matched veneer repairs. These imperfections do not detract from the piece’s beauty but rather add to the narrative of its storied past.
Traditionally used in the dining rooms or parlors of the 19th century as a decorative pier table, today it finds its place in modern homes as a distinctive sofa table or an elegant entryway statement piece. Its functionality coupled with its historical charm makes it not only a focal point of decor but also a testament to the enduring craftsmanship of the late Federal period. This pier table is a true collector’s item, offering both a glimpse into the past and a durable, timeless addition to any furniture collection. 41h x 44w x 21d counter height 35
