Description:
Dressing table supported by four cabriole legs terminating in pad feet, all below a deep frame containing one long and three small drawers above a shaped skirt with turned drops (replaced) and below a plain rectangular top (reattached). The dressing table is significant because it may illustrate the workmanship of a western Massachusetts shop tradition not previously represented in the Historic Deerfield collection. The hardware may be original.
