Figure 17 Tea table attributed to Robert Walker, King George County, Virginia, 1745–1755. Woods and dimensions unrecorded. (Edward Wenham, The Collector’s Guide to Furniture Design [New York: Collectors Press, 1928], p. 216.) The top is virtually identical to that on the Lee family table illustrated in fig. 15. The guilloche-and-flower motif between the legs of the table shown in fig. 17 is common in eighteenth-century architecture, but less so in furniture of the period. |
