Game Table 1845 - 1855

"Game Table," a richly carved and elegant piece of furniture by American cabinetmaker Thomas Day, dates to the mid-19th century. Crafted in walnut, the table features a gracefully undulating tabletop supported by intricately carved legs with a unique, lyre-like motif. The elaborate carving, reminiscent of the Rococo style, showcases Day's skill and adds a touch of opulence to the design. The table, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, serves as a testament to the craftsmanship and decorative artistry of the American furniture tradition.
