| Description: |
This rosewood veneer on cedar card
table was made c 1845. It was purchased from Graeme Dodd Antiques.
The table does not bear the maker’s label or mark. Graeme Dodd
attributed the table to Andrew Lenehan. Lenehan is known to have
made card tables with rosewood veneer on cedar; and the carving of
the lion’s paw feet is remarkably similar to the feet on Lenehan
tables that bear his label or mark. The table bears a later label
of Charles Artlett, who probably repaired or sold it in Sydney
during the period 1855-1883. A similar rosewood on cedar card
table is illustrated in K Vidler and G Dodd, 1988 Commemorative
Collection of Fine Australian Furniture, p 104. Price: $4,900 |
