About the Item

Massachusetts Cuban mahogany dining table Period: Federal Date: 1810 Place of Manufacturer: Salem, Massachusetts Made of: Cuban Mahogany Condition: Good, some historical repairs Provenance: Country house, Bath In the Federal Period, this Massachusetts Cuban Mahogany dining table with a specimen ‘cathedral-grained’ top features hand-carved foliate-trimmed end and corner plaques. Notably, this versatile table can seat up to 12 people for large gatherings. Alternatively, it can function as a smaller table for 4-6 people, or even as two separate console tables, offering multiple uses. Massachusetts Federalist 19th-Century Cuban Mahogany Dining Table The Massachusetts Federalist dining table from the 19th century is, without a doubt, a magnificent example of early American craftsmanship. It embodies the elegance and refinement that were characteristic of the Federalist period. Moreover, this exquisite piece, crafted from rich Cuban mahogany, serves as a testament to the artistry and meticulous attention to detail that defined the era. Also includes 10 Chippendale-style dining chairs. Dimensions and Structure To begin with, the table boasts a substantial and commanding presence. Its dimensions are ample enough to accommodate large family gatherings or formal dinner parties. Furthermore, its broad, rectangular top showcases the deep, reddish-brown hues and intricate grain patterns that are hallmarks of high-quality Cuban mahogany. The polished surface, which gleams with a warm and inviting lustre, is clearly a result of meticulous hand-finishing techniques that highlight its exceptional craftsmanship. Design and Carvings The design is both timeless and sophisticated, further reflecting the neoclassical influences popular during the Federalist period. Specifically, the table features gently curved edges, adorned with delicate carved motifs that add a subtle decorative flair without overwhelming the overall aesthetic. In addition, each corner is adorned with finely carved rosettes, offering a nod to the neoclassical inspiration drawn from ancient Roman and Greek architecture. Legs and Support The table rests on four elegantly tapered legs, each meticulously turned and fluted, demonstrating the exceptional level of craftsmanship involved in its creation. Moreover, the legs culminate in delicately carved feet, providing not only stability but also a touch of graceful refinement. Additionally, an apron runs along the underside of the table, adorned with intricate inlays and fine linework, further adding to its visual appeal. Functionality and Heritage Beyond its aesthetic qualities, the table is also highly functional. Its sturdy construction ensures durability, making it a reliable centrepiece for both everyday use and special occasions. Furthermore, the table’s provenance as a product of early 19th-century Massachusetts and its use of premium Cuban mahogany underscore its historical significance. This combination highlights the cultural exchange and global trade that shaped the era. Federal Finally, its timeless design ensures that it remains a cherished and relevant addition to any home. This is not just a piece of furniture; it is a true heirloom that carries with it the stories, craftsmanship, and elegance of a bygone era.
