Description
Mahogany, satinwood, red cedar, and glass Lady's Cabinet Dressing Table, 1800-1810, attributed to Baltimore cabinet maker William Camp (1733-1822). This dressing table, one of the finest pieces of American furniture, demonstrates the outstanding sophistication and skill of Baltimore cabinetmakers in the early-1800s. Although inspired by an English design source, the cabinetmaker adapted it to suit his clients' taste. Symbols of American independence (the gilded eagle) and contemporary Baltimore (allegorical figures of Commerce and Industry) on the verre églomisé (reverse painted glass) panels are prominent decorative elements on the veneered and painted table.
