Marble-slab table

American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 722

This table was made for the Philadelphia merchant Benjamin Marshall (1737–1778) at the time of his marriage, in 1761, to Sarah Lynn (1739–1797). Marble-slab tables were used for serving beverages and hot foods. The skirt of this example is finished on only three sides, since the back of the table faced the wall.
