- Pier Table, Once Attributed to Charles Honore Lannuier - 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.
