This finely proportioned antique tray-top tea table is a form distinctive to the Goddard and Townsend cabinet shops of Newport, Rhode Island. The rectangular tray top has an applied convex molding with a beaded outside edge. This molding rests atop a one-piece mahogany board and a flat apron with a convex molded skirt. The skirt joins conforming molded returns and cabriole legs with squared knees. The delicate cabriole legs terminate in slender slipper feet. Identical tables can be found in: "Master Craftsmen of Newport, The Townsends & Goddards"; Michael Moses. Americana Press, 1984, Page 73, "The Arts & Crafts of Newport, RI"; Ralph Carpenter. Preservation Society of Newport County, 1954, Page 102.
