These extremely fine New York City mahogany pembroke tables
are nearly identical to one pictured in "American Furniture,
The Federal Period" by Montgomery, which is the Winterthur
collection, on page 351, labeled by George Woodruff. The front
panels are veneered with casuarina, also known
as lacewood, which was first imported from Botany Bay, Australia
in the 1790's. It was used only on the finest Federal pieces
beginning around 1800.
We do not know of another pair of American Sheraton period
pembroke tables. This pair may be unique. They are truly rare
and beautiful.
Dimensions are: H. 30" L.
31 1/2" W. 20"
$ 16,500.
