RARE SIGNED PIEDMONT GEORGIA FEDERAL INLAID WALNUT SIDEBOARD / HUNTBOARD, a fine example of slender proportions, featuring two-board top over single short drawer at center and two deep bottle drawers at ends flanking a pair of center cabinet doors below which are inset and flanked by quarter-round applied stiles, the whole raised on six tall square-tapered legs ending in brass cuffs, back of proper right bottle drawer bearing period inscription "James Park / Green County / Georgia". Yellow pine secondary wood. Retaining an old surface with warm color. Reserve. Circa 1795. 40" H, 68 1/4" x 19 1/2" top.
Literature: See MESDA S-6448 for a similar example attributed to the Georgia piedmont.
Catalogue Note: 18th-century furniture from Georgia is quite rare, signed and inscribed pieces even more so. The present sideboard / huntboard appears to be associated with a group of similarly designed forms having history in the Georgia Piedmont. This example bears a period inscription to the back of the proper right bottle drawer for "James Park / Green County / Georgia", who was likely its owner. Born in Prince Edward Co., Virginia, James Daniel Park (1756-1823) is recorded as early 1787 in Georgia when he married Mary Sankey (b. 1743), who died only five years later in 1793. Park remarried that same year to Phoebe Ann Hogue (b. 1774), and the two had fourteen children over the ensuing decades. Park had a very large plantation-style farm and owned numerous enslaved individuals. The present sideboard, likely an expensive object in the rugged Southern Backcountry of the late 18th-century, further attests to his economic status. Research on James Daniel Park and this distinctive regional form of furniture is ongoing.
Very good overall visual condition with minor scattered wear. Minor repairs to top. Brasses replaced. Minor repairs to proper right drawer facing at escutcheon. Stiles flanking cabinet doors possibly replaced.
From the personal collection of Dr. and Mrs. Ronald E. Atkinson, Jr., Richmond, VA.
