Description: Dressing, console or side table in pine. There is a deeply scalloped top around the front and two sides, straight aprons, and four straight, slightly tapered legs. The scallop top concept, which begain in Wethersfield, Connecticut in the 1750s, migrated up the Connecticut River Valley to the Northampton-Hatfield -Deerfield region of western Massachusetts, where other variants in this style were made into the first years of the nineteenth century. Probably originally painted, it has been refinished.
