Pier Table 1822 - 1825

The "Pier Table" (1822-1825) is a fine example of American Federal-style furniture, crafted by Joseph Meeks & Sons. The table features intricate marquetry, a technique of inlaying different woods to create a decorative design. The front panel features a sunburst pattern, while the top is adorned with floral motifs. This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the craftsmanship of the Meeks family, renowned for their elegant and refined furniture designs.
