Overview
79 1/2" wide x 26" deep x 43 1/2" high.
An exceptionally fine and rare New York city Federal mahogany “French” sideboard “table,” attributed to the workshop of Duncan Phyfe, with an ormolu gallery and pineapple finials, circa 1810-1818. A very fine sideboard in bookmatched mahogany, attributable to the eminent New York cabinetmaker, Duncan Phyfe. Carved pineapple finials rest on stepped backboard, flanked by fire-gilded bronze side galleries. Three drawers with gilt bronze lion ring handles are supported by engaged classical columns over base offering four cabinet doors. Secondary wood is also mahogany, which is unusual for any period in furniture-making and a decision reserved for only the finest pieces. While of the period, it seems the lion head pulls have been added but are in keeping with what would have been on the piece originally.
