Rare Classical Stenciled Mahogany Card Table, labeled Rawson (1825)

Description: c.1825. This table is a very rare form and up until the time we obtained this, the Rhode Island School of Design thought they had the only example, theirs labeled also. This table has a crossbanded top with stenciled apron. The delicate stenciling, which is usually damaged, is, in this example, in perfect condition. The four columns are what distinguish this table as there are no other models of this type manufactured in this country.
