A Federal Turned and Black-Painted Maple Two-Drawer Sewing Table
New England, Circa 1815
Height 29 3/4 x width 22 x depth 16 1/4 inches.
Property from the Collection of Addice and Peter Thomas, Fairfax, Virginia American Furniture, Folk & Decorative Arts In overall fine and stable condition. Retains a fairly even black painted surface throughout with areas of rubbing visible. Scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Drawer pulls are replaced. Few age cracks visible throughout, including one to a leg, but no concern for the structural integrity of the stand. The fabric on the sewing bag is later. The lock mechanisms have been removed from each drawer.
Provenance:
Antiques Gionette, Cape Neddick, ME, 1990
Note:
Addice and Peter Thomas, passionate collectors of American and English antiques, amassed a vast collection over their 60-year marriage. Both were active members of the Washington, D.C. arts community. Peter served as Dean of the Corcoran School of Art and later as Art Director at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Addice studied voice and worked for two decades as the manager of the Washington Opera at the Kennedy Center.
As collectors, their focus was primarily on the 18th and 19th centuries, though they occasionally acquired from earlier periods. They frequently sourced their antiques at shops along the east coast and during their annual trips to the United Kingdom.
Their collection is incredibly diverse, encompassing a wide range of items from art, folk art, and decorative arts to sterling silver, tinware, blue granite, pewter, copper and brass. Their collection of English ceramics including ironstone, early Mason’s wares, Gaudy Welsh, Gaudy Dutch, and Staffordshire, numbered in the hundreds. Additionally, they acquired over one hundred Staffordshire figures and child's dishes, Toby jugs, and Dutch ceramics including a striking five-vase garniture. Finally, they had a substantial collection of American and English furniture, child’s furniture and over fifty Persian carpets. Their collection was a testament to their passion for antiques and their dedication to building a truly unique collection.
