| Figure 4 One of a pair of card tables attributed to Charles-Honoré Lannuier, New York City, possibly 1819. Mahogany and mahogany veneer with white pine; gilded gesso, vert antique, gilded cast brass, and die-stamped brass banding. Dimensions not recorded. (Courtesy, Museo de Artes Decorativas, Santa Clara, Cuba.) The upper leaf of the table is a replacement, and the die-stamped brass banding on the lower edge of the apron is missing. The ornament on the center of the apron matches one on the plinth of the card table illustrated in fig. 17. Visible on the base of the lyre is the shadow outline of an original cast brass gilded ornament, which was identical to that at the base of the lyre on the card table shown in fig. 15. |
