R.J. Horner Carved Oak Server Wonderful solid quartered oak server attributed to R.J.
Horner, NYC. The crest, typical of that found on the better Horner pieces,
is intricately open carved. It features a bust at either end, dolphins, two
figures blowing horns, and a central convex oval surrounded by a wreath with
a face beneath. There is a middle drawer underneath the surface that has a
lion at either end and a carved mask in the middle. Notice that the
interior wood in the drawer is also oak. A fully carved semi nude woman
forms the frontal supports. A bookcase with similar carved women and masks
can be seen on page 70 of "Victorian Decor" by Martin M. May. This piece has
very vibrant tiger grain. There is a slight water stain on the top. This
is a great example of the quality and detailed carving found on the best of
R.J. Horner furniture!
