Pier Table 1760 - 1790

"Pier Table" (1760-1790) is an American Rococo-style table crafted by renowned cabinetmaker John Goddard. The piece is notable for its intricate design, featuring a carved mahogany frame with inlaid details, a marble top, and elegant cabriole legs ending in claw-and-ball feet. Its symmetrical form, characteristic of the period, reflects the ideals of balance and proportion prevalent in 18th-century furniture design. This iconic example of American furniture design is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
