Card Table 1810s

"Card Table" is a fine example of American Empire furniture, created by French-born émigré cabinetmaker Charles-Honoré Lannuier in the 1810s. This elegant table, made of mahogany and maple, features a gilded base with a winged figure of a woman. The table's intricate details and impressive craftsmanship are characteristic of Lannuier's work, which was influenced by the Neoclassical style popular in the early 19th century. The table is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
