Description: Rococo rosewood Victorian center table attributed to J. & J.
Meeks with the original oval white marble top (some normal minor wear to
top). The identical table is shown on page 130 of "American Furniture of the
19th Century" by Eileen and Richard Dubrow. It has a undulating open
laminated carved skirt that features a cluster of petal flowers with foliage
on all four sides. There is a similar floral carving at the top of each of
the graceful legs. Four open carved stretchers support a gorgeous central
carved finial. The smaller bottom portion of the finial was missing when we
purchased the table. We had it professionally recreated - one can really
not ever tell that it has been replaced. It sits on the original brass
castors. The center table is the focal point of the Victorian living room.
This table is one of the best and made by one of the premier NYC Victorian
firms of the period. It is in the remarkable original condition that the
sophisticated collectors covet!
