The Drawing Room of Newport.
Located in Newport Rhode Island
# 7122. An important example of the so-called American Rennaissance Revival furnishing. An ebonized and gilt incised cherry library table in unrestored condition. Original scuffed brown leather top. Damaged or missing drawer pull with one complete. One minor molding loss. One partial wing loss to the stretcher carved griffon. Circa 1869-85 Museum quality. Paint loss and wear to the corners and edges. The castors are period to the table. Four winged figures support the corners and two griffone decorate the stretcher. There are no labels, numbers, etc. indicating production information. Not labeled but attributed to an American manufacturer, probably in NYC. Size: 34.75" deep x 59.25" wide and 30.25" tall. Two drawers open from opposite sides. No other example of this table known to us. From a Newport Cottage built in the late 1860's. Interest in this library table appreciated.
