OUTSTANDING CURLY MAPLE
SLANT FRONT DESK
WESTPORT, MASSACHUSETTS
CIRCA 1790
This attractive southern Bristol County desk is constructed of dynamically figured curly maple throughout. The slant front writing surface rests on slide-out lopers to reveal a fitted interior. The interior has three banks of drawers, the top two have two short drawers centering a double height center drawer; lower has two long drawers and a short center drawer. Each of the drawer fronts is constructed of vigorously grained sycamore. Sycamore is commonly found in South coastal Massachusetts furniture and its use is a strong regional characteristic. The case has four graduated thumb-molded drawers whose fronts are made of bold and vibrantly grained tiger maple; drawers are mounted with period oval brasses and pressed brass lock escutcheons. The case rests on beautiful ogee bracket feet stylistically inspired by nearby Rhode Island shop traditions. It should be noted that although the feet resemble those found on pieces from Providence and Newport, they show the regions style and flair in their bold returns and platform base. The desk retains a rich old surface with a mellow patina that enhances the contrast of the tiger maple. The desk is in excellent condition with an old surface that may be original; brasses are old period replacements.
The desk was acquired in the 1970's from a home directly across the street from the Westport Fire Department and is illustrated in, "Harbor & Home; Furniture of Southeastern Massachusetts 1710-1850". Page 209, plate 71.2. It was also exhibited in the show relating to the volume, at Winterthur, Spring 2009.
