Card Table 1822 - 1825

"Card Table" is a piece of furniture crafted by renowned American cabinetmaker Duncan Phyfe in the early 19th century. Phyfe was known for his elegant, refined style, evident in the table's rich mahogany wood, delicate brass inlay, and graceful, pedestal-like base. The table is a prime example of American Federal-era furniture, showcasing the influence of Classical and Neoclassical design principles. It's a testament to Phyfe's mastery of craftsmanship, and it's housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a testament to its artistic and historical significance.
