This table is a multipurpose table used as a dressing table, small writing table, hall table, etc. Its graceful cabriole legs were either finished plain or relieved with delicate carvings. The skirt of the table was either straight, stepped as in our selection or elaborately scroll valanced in the front and two sides. Most of these tables were constructed of mahogany with their lustrous high-lighted finish accented by highly polished brass hardware. Tables of the colonial period were seldom constructed to serve a single purpose and were valued for their utility as well as their appearance. Seldom was a piece of furniture used strictly for decorative purposes. One of the reasons for the low survival rate of many types of furniture was the fact that they were well used in their lifetime.
