John Goddard Scalloped Top Tea Table

34" (w) x 27" (h) x 21" (d)

This is a reproduction of a John Goddard scalloped top tea table. John Goddard was a famous 18th century cabinet maker working in Newport, RI. Several of these tables are still in existence. This one descended in the Nicholas Brown family from 1760 until it sold at auction in 2005 for $8.4M.

I particularly like the open talon ball and claw feet. They are unique in 18th Century American furniture to the Goddard and Townsend family of cabinet makers of Newport, RI. I also like the scalloped edge top, which is carved from one piece of wood. Another unique feature of this table are the veneer patches on the upper leg posts that match the horizontal grain line of the rails.
