AMERICAN, PROBABLY PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, CLASSICAL CARVED MAHOGANY GAMES TABLE, the rectangular hinged top over a molded apron, over an intricately carved standard and a platform base supported by four carved legs terminating in paw feet on casters. Signed on the swivel support board "Joseph N. Bullock / Providence / RI." Retains a refinished, period correct, French polished surface with warm color, and a custom glass top to fit it when closed. Oak or hickory and pine secondary woods. Second quarter 19th century. 29" HOA, 35 3/4" WOA, 17 1/2" DOA closed.
Catalogue Note: There are several different men listed as "Joseph Bullock" in the Providence area in the 19th century, but the most probable is "Joseph N Bullock" listed in the city directories of Providence from the 1850s through 1880. No other information was found regarding this man, nor his occupation. It's possible that he was the maker of this table, but equally possible that he was just the owner.
In the research compiled by the consigner, she finds a Joseph Bullock in the 1820 census living in Bristol Co., Barrington, RI She finds him again in the 1830 census, not in 1840, and again in 1850. She also finds a cabinetmaker named Jabez Bullock who dies in 1856 and a David Bullock listed as a carpenter in North Kingston, RI in 1850.

Condition
