Centre Table Commemorating the Paris Treaty and the USA Independence, Dated 1886

About the Item

A very interesting centre table commemorating the Paris Treaty between the original thirteen states of the United States of America and Great Britain ending the American Revolution or War of Independence in 1783 France, or the United States of America, 1886, signed and dated, Camurri Enrico Fece l’anno ‘86 Walnut, maple, burr maple and poplar, in the centre of the top pictorial inlays with various woods and ivory showing British and American negotiators, surrounded by four oval scenes of triumphal chariots with classical gods, drawn by horses, cockerels and a dragon, interspersed with bellflower vines, resting on marquetry inlaid octagonal baluster column with four sculptured sea creatures as its legs. Measures: H. 70 x W. 143 x D. 112 cm. The decoration of the negotiators is loosely based on Benjamin West’s unfinished 1783-84 painting ‘American Commissioners of the Preliminary Peace Negotiations with Great Britain’ (in the Winterthur Museum). The table commemorates 100 years of independence of the United States of America. The style of the table is French Charles X, early 19th century, and no longer fashionable in France in 1886. Therefore, it could very well be an American made table.

The Declaration of Independence, Printed on Cotton, ca 1876
Located in York County, PA
PRINTED COTTON KERCHIEF GLORIFYING THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, WITH TEXT AND REPRODUCED SIGNATURES, MADE FOR THE 1876 CENTENNIAL INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION IN PHILADELPHIA Printed on cotton, this beautiful kerchief pays homage to the Declaration of Independence, through the reproduction of its text and 56 signatures, surrounded by a fanciful border. The latter contains the 13 state seals, which are dispersed around the perimeter in small medallion images. Note how Pennsylvania is highlighted among them, larger and in the bottom center, both because it served as the meeting place of the Second Continental Congress, and played host to the 1876 Centennial International Exposition, the six-month long World’s Fair event that was held in honor of our nation’s 100-year anniversary of independence. The names of twelve Revolutionary War generals are spread out between each crest, on each forward-facing turn of a scroll, that wraps around the pillar and leaf border on the right, left, and bottom. These include Washington, Lafayette, Johann de Kalb, Nathiel Greene, Ethan Allen, Henry Knox, Israel Putnam, Daniel Morgan, William Moultrie, Francis Marion...
