Pier Table, Once Attributed to Charles Honore Lannuier
Add to SetSummary
This pier table appears to be an excellent example of the work of New York cabinetmaker, Charles Honore Lannuier. During conservation treatment we discovered doweled construction and a lack of hand saw marks on interior wood. These indicate a made date after the industrial revolution. Combined with appropriate period brasses, screws and nails, we concluded that this table was created to deceive, likely in the 20th century.
