18th Century Mahogany Bureau Table

This 18th Century Mahogany Bureau Table sets a new world auction record for achieving a stunning $5.7 million at Christies! Masterfully crafted by Newport’s most celebrated cabinet maker, it serves as an outstanding example of the celebrated Newport style of block-and-shell carving. It features classic styling and a handwritten label in the top drawer of the table. It indicates that Goddard made the knee-hole bureau circa 1765 expressly for his daughter, Catherine Goddard, and may have given it to her as a wedding present. This table truly holds a sentimental value!
