Card Table 1800 - 1815

This anonymous, early 19th-century card table is a fine example of American Federal-style furniture. The table's elegant, curved form and intricate marquetry inlay are characteristic of this popular period style. It features a mahogany top with inlaid veneers of maple, holly, and satinwood, creating a visually stunning and intricate pattern. This card table, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of American furniture makers during the Federal period.
