This Baltimore style table is based upon a similar table in the American Wing at the Metropolitan Museum. The most notable difference is that the original model is a games table, whereas this side table is taller, with a drawer concealed in the frieze.

Baltimore Table

This table is a replica of the table at the Winterthur Museum. It was built by the owner, Dan Santos, who also provided the documentation for my use to complete the surface decoration.

Baltimore Armchair

The chair shown above is one from a set of ten; each chair has a different “house portrait” painted on the back. The images were painted in a somewhat naive style, in an attempt to replicate the look of the original antique furniture from which they were taken.
