Card Table
Isaac Vose & Son · Boston · 1819–25
Because few pieces of classical furniture from Boston are labeled, scholars have relied on histories of ownership to make claims about furniture made there. This card table, whose style is unique to Boston during the early 19th century, can be firmly traced back to the Lyman family, Bostonians who summered in Newport, Rhode Island. It bears striking visual similarities to other pieces signed by the Vose firm and consistent construction details characteristic of the shop of Isaac Vose & Son.
