Small sideboards or serving tables were popular throughout Federal America and this example, with its arched apron, is reminiscent of cabinetwork from Salem, Massachusetts. Combining tall reeded legs with a serpentine façade, this serving table features bold turret corners and beautifully grained veneers. The original lion's-head brasses are particularly appealing and provide a striking contrast with the dark mahogany.

A closely related example at Historic Deerfield (Wright House), Cluett Collection, attributed to Joseph True, is illustrated in Historic Deerfield, Inc., Annual Report for 1981 (Deerfield, MA, 1981), p. VIII.
