| A Federal American gaming table, possibly of New England origins. The intricate swag inlay with a central star and oval inlays on the pilasters above the squared tapered legs and the ovoulo top form all suggest a sophisticated cabinetmaker working in one of the population centers such as Boston or Baltimore. Gregory Weidman's "Furniture in Maryland" mentions that gaming tables like this were often made in pairs, a less known fact that is revealed only by newspaper advertisements and probate inventories done at time when they were made, about 1800.
