I am trying to attribute a rosewood dressing table. Its american made, solid and veneered (no laminates) posts of mirror have cornithian columns but topped with urn turnings. Any ideas?

We'll take a look if you send pictures. Can't determine anything by knowing just composition and one design detail.

Can you provide pictures of all angles of the table, including the whole thing? The urns/columns don't point me in any particular direction, personally.

It is certainly a distinctive Louis XVI table, but I don't know that I have personally seen this one or parts of it elsewhere ...

Thanks for looking, it has me stumped as well. Very distinctive turnings/carvings so I assume someone has seen another piece. Purchased from a CT mansion on Long Island Sound. I'm assuming NY made.

I immediately thought New York as well.
No clue as to maker, though.

I'll load photos of mirror later on. It does have floral carvings that remind me of meeks. Open flowers and then either a morning glory or flower bud with vine  |

I have completed the restoration on the rosewood dressing table. Its solid construction, architectural elements and natural floral embellishments have pointed me toward attributing it to Elijah Galusha. I will add finished photos.

Here is the finished version, ended with dark paste wax. I have 30' tall ceilings so tough to get good shots without bringing in lighting source. I can't figure out how to just post photos (sorry) so here is link to its listing. www.quaboagantiques.com |
