Note du spécialiste

At the time of their sale in 1994, these tables were said to have been made for the great-great-grandfather of Sheffield Bunker in 1814. These two matching tables are a rare survival as a pair and their tops were cut from the same flitch of highly figured mahogany. For an example with a similar top and carved legs ending in paw feet attributed to Duncan Phyfe see Israel Sack, Inc., American Antiques from Israel Sack Collection, vol. VII, p. 1737, no. P4868.
