Note: This table is closely related to an important group of painted Baltimore tables made by John Finlay for John Ridgely's massive Maryland country estate known as "Hampton," (see Elder, Baltimore Painted Furniture, fig. 42 and Wiedman, Furniture in Maryland, fig. 171). The distinctive form of this table, featuring anthemion stenciling and an X-form base, is specific to Baltimore cabinetmakers of the early 19th century.
in a fine state of overall preservation, later finely cast cuffs and casters added (original height 34-1/2 in.), mostly original painted and stenciled surface with scattered small retouch throughout, scattered small paint losses, scattered abrasions, other general imperfections as expected with age and use
