Mahogany Drop Leaf Table with Brass Claw Feet and Lionhead Drawer Pull

"Duncan Phyfe" was a 19th Century cabinet maker. Throughout the first half of the nineteenth century he made Neoclassical furniture for the social and mercantile elite of New York, Philadelphia, and the American South where he was particularly popular. His name has become used as a generic term for furniture similar to what he originally made, but produced during the 20th century. Most tables like the one pictured generally date from the second quarter of the 20th century and were produced in huge numbers. Most of these 20th century examples we see go at auction these days for under $150.00.
