Displaying angular shaping to the upper legs and distinctively carved feet with attenuated talons and bulbous knuckles, this table exhibits the regional preferences of Northeastern Massachusetts. It has descended in the family and is thought to have hailed from ancestors of the Waterman family of Providence, Rhode Island.
