Pembroke table

By the mid-eighteenth century, card tables were often sold in pairs so that they could double as pier tables when not in use. Breakfast tables were also made in pairs, although much less frequently. The Virginia example illustrated here represents one of the few known surviving pairs from the early South. With a history in the Swepson and Allen families of Nansemond County, the table and its mate exhibit unusual quatrefoil inlays, variations of which appear on a number of Southside Virginia tables, bottle cases, and sideboards from several shops.
