- Lot Description
circa 1837-1840, attributed to Duncan Phyfe operating as D. Phyfe & Son, New York, sloped crest rail with scrolled terminal decorated with circular medallion, scrolled arm, highly figured blocked seat rail, club feet with inset casters, 34-1/2 x 68 x 24 in.
Provenance: Collection of Beverly and Richard Kelly of Garrison, New York
Note: The decorative elements of this recamier relate closely to several documented works by Duncan Phyfe, operating then under the name D. Phyfe & Son, that were designed for Millford in Pine Woods, South Carolina. The shape and proportions of the "Grecian" scrolls, circular medallions, and distinctive club feet are a close match to a Grecian bedstead from Millford illustrated in Duncan Phyfe: Master Cabinetmaker in New York by Peter Kenny et. al (pl. 55, pg. 249), in addition to multiple other pieces from Millford sharing the same motifs.
Condition
in a fine state of overall preservation, retains fine finish with high polish, one front like with scattered surface wear and accretions, proper right rear side shows some old repairs and filled areas, minor veneer shrinkages in some areas, small filled areas, small veneer repairs, and other general wear and imperfections expected with age and use
