NOTES
Nearly every surface of this table is embellished with carved flowers and other plant motifs. High-relief daisies and roses ornament the triangular ends, and low-relief ferns and vines frame the top.
In Midwestern cities like Cincinnati, Ohio, where this table was made, and St. Louis, Missouri, many women practiced woodcarving, china painting, and other decorative arts. A table carved by Julia Hall Rice, possibly this example, was included in the influential exhibition of decorative arts by Cincinnati women at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876.
