Figure 28 Detail of a caryatid support on a card table attributed to Charles-Honoré Lannuier, New York City, 1815–1819. (Private collection; photo, Gavin Ashworth.) This style of caryatid appears to be transitional. The original cast-brass gilded ornament and lower die-stamped brass border on the apron, which has been replaced by a flat strip of brass, are missing. The tips of the innermost seven feathers on the figure’s left wing are replacements. This table is one of a pair. |
