With its kidney-shaped frame, turned and reeded legs and inverted baluster-turned feet, this card table suggests the work of the Philadelphia cabinetmaker, Henry Connelly (1770-1826). These characteristics are seen in a sideboard labeled by Connelly and dated 1806 (John J. Snyder, Jr., Philadelphia Furniture & Its Makers (New Jersey, 1975), p. 85.). For other related examples by Connelly see Nancy McClelland, Duncan Phyfe and The English Regency (New York, 1939), pl. 231 and William MacPherson Hornor, Jr., Blue Book: Philadelphia Furniture (Washington, D.C., 1935), pl. 427.
