ATTRIBUTED TO DUNCAN PHYFE, NEW YORK, CIRCA 1815

This fine table is closely related in form to an example with the label of Duncan Phyfe (Christie's, New York, 8 Octobe 1997, lot 86) and another that descended from Samuel Foot and is closely associated with Phyfe's shop (see Nancy McClelland, Duncan Phyfe and the English Regency (New York, 1939, p. 272). The stenciled design that centers a classical mask is in keeping with a center table in the Museum of the City of New York, and they were possibly made en suite. While such stenciled designs were also employed by other New York shops, the design of this table supports the Phyfe attribution.
