Super quality walnut Victorian library table attributed to
Alexander Roux, NYC. We had an olive green leather with a tooled edge
installed in the top surface. The top itself has an intricately carved
edge. There are extensive applied carvings on both drawers and around the
entire skirt.

The drawer pulls are lion heads and the corners are carved
with well defined faces. The table has rope turned legs and stretchers with
three shapely carved finials on the stretchers. Page 162 of "American
Furniture of the 19th Century" shows some chairs by Roux with similar
turnings and carvings. On page 166 of the same book the table skirt is
rendered much like the skirt on this table. Roux often employed carved
heads in his designs. This is a fine table by one of the most renowned New
York City furniture makers of the period!
Circa: 1850
Dimensions: 30"H x 48"W x 30"D
Finish: Good original. The top of the middle finial has been chewed by an
animal.
Price: $4850.00 |
