White oak and poplar



As depicted, the rectangular top with molded edge is pinned to the plain apron which is raised on turned legs joined by turned medial stretcher. The single drawer is joined with large dovetails typical of the early period; feet are full height.

Six-Drawer Tall-Chest
Attributed to Nathan Lombard (1777-1847)
Sutton, Massachusetts
Cherry, pine secondary work



As depicted, six drawer high chest attributed to Nathan Lombard, of southern Worcester County, probably Sutton, Massachusetts. Cherry with an old surface and good patina. Pine secondary wood. Well-shaped bracket feet and scalloped returns with a cove molding that stylistically are within the Lombard shop tradition as are other construction features. Dovetailed case; the sic graduated drawers are of dovetail construction and have incised beading along the edges with old replaced wooden pulls. Deep cove molded cornice...beneath which is an applied molding on the rail. Height: 52.875-inches; width: 37.25-inches; depth: 16.75-inches.

LITERATURE: "American Furniture 1998", published by the Chipstone Foundation and edited by Luke Bekerdite, having an in-depth article, "Sophistication in Rural Massachusetts, the Inlaid Cherry Furniture of Nathan Lombard" by Brock Jobe and Clark Pearce, which concludes by stating, "Nathan Lombard's furniture attests to his success during the early nineteenth century. Evidence suggests that he offered a range of standard forms that could be transformed through the application of pictorial inlays, and, to a lesser degree, carving. Colorful, exuberant, and highly individualistic, his furniture offers a tangible sign of the confidence and ambition of a style-conscious rural clientele. No contemporary Massachusetts furniture maker better represents the aspirations of the era."

William & Mary Cherry Turned
Gate-Leg Table
Rhode Island
Literature: Published in 1 American Furniture,
2005 edition, page 15; figure 33. Article titled,
Early Rhode Island Turning by Erik Gronning
and Dennis Carr.



The overhanging oval drop-leaf top with tongue and groove joint between top board and leaves projects above a skirt with no drawer; two gates support those leaves. Robust turned elements are found on the gates, legs, and stretchers.
1 The stationary legs have symmetrical balusters separated by a thin "V" shaped torus molding; thus the mass of the turning is located at the center rater than at the bottom. The legs are joined by a stretcher that is equally robust in its turning; table is raised on turned feet that have been expertly restored. The hinges appear to be very old replacements, the lower rail beneath drawer front is replaced and the drawer is missing-otherwise all else excellent. Dry surface with great patina and color; may be original surface history. (Height: 28.5-inches; width 42-inches; depth: 54-inches.)
