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.
