InventoryCollection Number: 17259Building: Central LibraryCurrent Location: B1Floor: Lower Level/Vault Object DescriptionArtist: UnknownObject Type: FurnitureDetails: This is a 19th century mahogany half-moon table that was likely an addition to a larger piece. Framed: NoLength: 55 inchesWidth: 27 1/2 inchesHeight: 31 inchesDescription: This side table's smooth upper surface caps a wealth of intricacy below. Starting with the band that foots the tabletop, shields, vases plush with foliage, and scrolling elements carved in high relief span the half-moon shape and give way to two supporting legs. The legs' alternate smooth, slender segments with globes carved with more high-relief detail. A sequence of ram faces protrudes from each of the upper globes with ribbons threading their horns. The lower globes are more subtle with sequences of four-leaf floral cameos. Altogether, the piece appears heavy in material but weightless in placement which would suggest it was likely part of a larger piece of furniture.
