Belmead Center Table

Alexander Jackson Davis (American, 1803–1892) · New York City · c. 1846

In 1845 Alexander Jackson Davis designed Belmead, a Gothic Revival villa, for the builder Philip St. George Cocke of Powhatan County, Virginia. In addition to designing Belmead's exterior, Davis designed furniture for the interior, notably a parlor set that included side chairs. The table descended in the Cocke family along with the parlor set and, remarkably, retains its original marble top and intricately carved tracery lantern.
