Work Table 1810 - 1820

Duncan Phyfe's "Work Table" is a quintessential example of American Federal-style furniture, known for its elegant simplicity and refined lines. Crafted between 1810 and 1820, the table features a mahogany top with a single drawer and a unique tapered pedestal base, supported by four graceful, claw-and-ball feet. The intricate carving and polished finish highlight Phyfe's mastery of woodworking, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistry that defined this influential American designer. The "Work Table" is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection in New York City, offering a glimpse into the sophisticated taste of the early 19th century.
