Rare form of American walnut hard-carved ca1840 Neoclassical 'rents' table. Atlantic seaboard cabinetmaker's version of an English classic table used to store rent payments and records for farm tenants. Purchased at auction at Neal's Auction Company in New Orleans, this beautiful is in excellent condition. Hardware (glass knobs) are thought to be added pre-1900. No repairs, all original finishes. Beautiful carved leg supports.
