Descriptive Note
|
Text: Originally made for the wealthy
Salem merchant Elias Hasket Derby, it is part of a
larger set, now dispersed. The carved grape clusters
in the lunette at the base of the splat and suspended
from bowknots at the top of each leg are a motif traditionally
associated with the work of Samuel McIntire, a Salem
carver and architect.
