American Inlaid Cherry Pembroke Table, ca. 1800, possibly from the shop of Nathan Lombard (1777-1847) of Sutton, Massachusetts, fitted with demi-lune drop leaves and a frieze drawer, the tapered legs inlaid with distinctive segmented icicles terminating in "dots", the drawer with an old exhibition label which states it was owned by Mr. & Mrs. L. B. Pattison, h. 28-3/4", w. 39-1/2", d. 31-1/4". The inlay appears on Winterthur Museum's iconic eagle-inlaid secretary, formerly thought to be Connecticut or Rhode Island, now attributed to Lombard. The desk which shares the inlay is illustrated in American Furniture, the Federal Period 1788-1825, by Charles Montgomery, on the dust jacket and on page 221; the inlay itself is illustrated on page 35, lower right.

The table's primary wood is cherry, the inlay possibly maple. The drawer liner appears to be poplar, and the pull likely original. There are two block spaces on the false drawer side, one missing, one replaced. The top has had 1" added in the middle, almost certainly to make up for shrinkage. The legs appear to have retained their full height. It retains great, old surface. There are two unexplained holes near one side above the drawer.
