Classical Mahogany, Alabaster and Brass Inlaid Work Table. Boston 1820-1830. The rectangular top with brass foliate reserves and rectangular hinged leaves with similar inlaid brass foliate reserves each hinged leaves with similar inlaid brass foliate reserve each inscribed. Respectively 'Ala/Snta:Julia./Wadington'; El/General/Guilarte', centering an alabaster tablet above a conforming case with two short drawers, one with sliding velvet surface revealing a compartmented interior and two sham drawers, all decorated with similar inlaid brass foliate reserves over a sliding work bag enclosed within shaped supports surrounded by alabaster column above an abacus base with similar brass inlaid foliate reserves, on dolphin-carved feet; together with an oil on tin portrait of General Guilarte in a brass inlaid rosewood frame. Possibly comissioned as a special order or for General Guilarte as a gift to Julia Wadington, this Boston work table traveled on a venture cargo trade from Boston to South America. With white pine secondary woods and exhibiting characteristic associated with Boston examples, this work table was created as a form used primary by ladies. Usualy made with two narrow drawers, the top was compartmented to hold various sewing implements while the lower drawer is a fabric work bag attached to a drawer frame.
Information attached on the back of the painting of general Guilarte is translated into English as Follow: "General Eusebio Quilarte. He was born in 1799 and died in 1849. Upon General Ballivian's renouncement of the presidency, Guilarte remained at the front of executive power. The revolution was coming like a torrent, Guilarte executes the Official Borda; but as soon as he arrived at Oruro, the revolution explodes and Guilarte flees to Peru on the 2nd of January 1848." General Guilarte became president December 23, 1847 and was overthrown 10 days later. Small crack on the alabaster top; small loss of brass on one of the legs. Fabric orginal, some trim lost; otherwise very good original condition.
