With their original knee brackets, these card tables are rare survivals of this distinctive Rhode Island form. The design of the brackets, as well as the carving around the edge of the tops, skirt ornament and leg molding are identical on the two tables and while they vary slightly in size and construction, such outward similarities strongly suggest that they were made and used as a pair. It is possible that they were made contemporaneously in the same shop but by different workers or that one was made slightly after the other.
