Tea Table

Bernard Krieger

National Gallery of Art

This is a technical drawing of a mahogany tea table. The image shows plans for the table, including "Plan of Top", "Plan of Base", "Front Elevation", and "Side Elevation" views. The plans are labeled with measurements, such as 34 inches for the width of the front and 22 inches for the depth of the side. The table legs feature carved embellishments at the top, consistent with 18th-century design styles. The plan includes details of the woodwork, like bevels and beads on the tabletop. The text states that the table is from Philadelphia in the third quarter of the 18th century and specifies the material as mahogany.
