About the Item

A very fine Federal card table attributable to renown Boston cabinetmaker, Thomas Seymour (1771-1848) with carvings likely by Thomas Wightman (1759-1827), Boston, circa 1815. The top is of solid mahogany; apron rails are supported by a solid mahogany lyre on the back side with scrolling carved leafage and simulated lyre strings on the front, and rest on a rectangular base plinth. Base is supported by four "C" scrolling legs that stand proud of the plinth; each leg with three large reeded moldings, and terminating in hairy paw brass foot mounts with spherical brass casters.
