On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 774

This astragal-end ladies sewing or worktable is distinguished by its tall, elegant, and finely reeded legs. The pleated silk bag, which held sewing fabric or needlework, is patterned after a design in plate 26 of Thomas Sheraton’s "The Cabinet- Maker and Upholsterer’s Drawing-Book" (1794).
