Pembroke Table (Drop Leaf) 1935 - 1942

This is a design drawing for a Pembroke table, a popular furniture style that emerged in the 18th century. Artist Bernard Gussow (1855-1995) executed this detailed drawing between 1935 and 1942. The drop-leaf design of the table, the slender legs, and the inlaid ornamentation are characteristic of this classic style. The drawing captures the intricate details of the table's construction, including the graceful curve of the leaves and the elegant inlay work.
