Oval table with falling leaves

American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 774

This oval table with falling leaves is trim and light in weight and ideally suited to a variety of functions in an early eighteenth-century interior. The design of its legs and stretchers with opposed ogee balusters centered on a ring, exemplifies the standard turned vocabulary characteristic of William and Mary-style Boston and Boston-inspired tables of this form.
