Federal Dining Room Tables

FEDERAL STYLE

Following the Revolutionary War, the American republic referenced the Roman Republic in its designs to celebrate its independence and declare itself a powerful new country. Imbued with neoclassical elements like those being promoted by architect Robert Adam in Great Britain, antique Federal-style furniture was the first distinctly American style in its melding of ancient influences, European aesthetics and national pride.

Dating roughly from 1790 to 1830, the style featured angular furniture with saber legs and smooth surfaces that contrasted with the curvy Rococo style that was previously in fashion. Eagles were common ornamental motifs on Federal-period furniture, as were cornucopia, lyres, garlands and scrolls, adding subtle flair to pieces characterized by clean lines, geometric symmetry, balanced shapes and a sense of grandeur.

Instead of sculptural carvings, authentic Federal-style furniture was adorned with inlays and patterned veneers that showcased the rich character of different grains and types of wood. As social life tended to be informal in the young country, furniture was often lightweight, so it could be easily rearranged in a drawing room or bedroom. Pieces like dining tables with drop leaves and sideboards became popular, replacing larger chests of drawers.

The Federal style varied by region: Artisans in Charleston, South Carolina, decorated chairs with carved backs, for instance, while those in Baltimore, Maryland, preferred painted details. Its major proponents included father-and-son cabinetmakers John and Thomas Seymour in Boston, Duncan Phyfe and Charles-Honoré Lannuier in New York and Samuel McIntire in Salem, Massachusetts.

Vintage Baker Furniture Stately Homes Walnut Dining/Banquet Table
Located in Suwanee, GA
This is one of Baker Furniture’s finest dining/banquet tables. It is from Baker’s signature collection, Stately Homes. All of the Stately Homes pieces were modeled after distinguished English pieces from the 1700s and 1800s. This table was inspired by a table in the Lennox Castle in Scotland. The original table appears in the Dictionary of English Furniture, MacQuad and Edwards circa 1710. This table has a magnificent cathedral walnut field with two borders of Burled walnut and straight grain walnut. The borders are separated by inlays of double arrow patterns. The apron is anointed with Burled walnut and a carved gadrooned mold g edge. The cabriole legs have carved knees with scrolls and acanthus leaves terminating with pad feet. We estimate that this table is 20-40 years old. It is in excellent condition. It has been masterfully refinished in the Leighton Hall Restoration Department. It has a a medium brown walnut stain with a lacquered hand rubbed and polished semigloss sheen. We proudly think it looks better now than it did when I was new. See “Condition” for details. This is an excellent opportunity to own an authentic vintage Baker Stately Homes table...
