History per the consignor: "This table belonged to my great-grandmother, Saidee Eugenie Kinnier Boyd (1872-1960), of New York; she married George Venable Boyd (1865-1919), in Manhattan in 1896. They lived at the Boyd House (“Belvidere”) in Williamsboro (Vance County), North Carolina, built about 1850 for George’s father, William Henry Boyd, by Warrenton builder Jacob W. Holt (National Register of Historic Places, 1992). George was the descendant of Alexander and Ann Swepson Boyd of Boydton, Virginia (Mecklenburg County). Saidee and George had seven children. The table passed down to her daughter Virginia Boyd Way, (1907-2007) then to my mother Anne Way Crawford (1938- ), and then to me."

Interior of skirts with two chalk inscriptions reading "Moore".

Overall good age appropriate condition; marble top is old and likely original with expected stains and toning; the base with attractive old mellow patina and all over light crazing; some small veneer chips especially at base edge of legs.
