Pembroke Table
Not on view
This is an excellent example, with all the extras, of the Philadelphia Pembroke, or breakfast, table. In a Philadelphia cabinetmaker’s 1772 price list, a mahogany “Breakfast Table plain” cost “2-15-0” (2 pounds, 15 shillings, no pence); with a drawer, “Brasses & Brackets,” and “a plain Stretcher,” the price was “3-10-0.” “Add for Scalloping the Top 4s[hillings]” and the result would be this table, costing 3 pounds, 14 shillings.
