This small writing table exhibits a number of stylistically ambitious features.  The legs are square but chamfered on the inner corners and molded on the outer corners.  The three board top has a molded edge.  At least four of the pierced brackets are original and convey a bit of elegance.  Particularly notable is the design of the H stretchers which swell at juncture of the tenoned cross member.

The table was acquired locally in the early 20^th century and is from the collection of one of Alexandria’s oldest families.
