Oval table with falling leaves

1715–40
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 711
In its overall design, this table exemplifies the type of small oval tables with a trestle base characteristic of New England. The simple, slim turned frame makes for a very compact unit that is easy to store when not in use. On this example the top is only 9 ¼ inches wide when the leaves are down.
