Andrew Jackson Downing in The Architecture of Country Houses, 1850, illustrated (figure 254, page 438) a "light table in rosewood by Roux," which is remarkably similar to our table. Three examples of this important table are known to us — one in a distinguished private collection, another in the octangular library of the Hudson River villa, Rokeby, and this example. Rosewood table. Height 22-1/4 in., Width 27 in. Price $8,500. |
