19TH C ANTIQUE FEDERAL PERIOD DUNCAN PHYFE MAHOGANY GAME TABLE / CARD TABLE

  With our highest compliments & utmost honors, Bay Colony Antiques is proud to offer for sale this fantastic 19th century antique Federal period mahogany game table. The table was exhibited at the Connecticut Tercentenary & Town of Bristol Sesqui-centennial Celebration that spanned about one week in the summer of 1935. The people of Bristol country all came together with their most important historical objects and the collection was properly documented & cataloged and we have the original booklet & accompanying photo included with this listing. Bristol is best known for it's extensive history in clock making and was home to many highly skilled individuals. Much of the country relied on Bristol's clocks and they were sold and traded throughout every major city at the time. Many horologists in the area had connections with New York City where this table was made CA 1810/1820. The exhibition booklet has this listed as a Phyfe type card table, owned by August Bechstedt and
