table of the hunting board class. Showing the approximate height and depth of the hunting table, it is so designated. The spade foot is employed. The legs are inlaid with mahogany panels. (Property of J. Pope Nash).
PLATE IV. Top—Sheraton Hunting Board or Sideboard—Walnut. (South Carolina—c. 1790-1800. This type of sideboard, or hunting board, is found in considerable numbers throughout the South. This piece presents the style of sideboard used by the tradesmen, middlemen and small planters in the period. It is a well-made piece, and influenced by the Sheraton design as indicated by the arch center, although the square leg is retained. Other pieces were recorded as made in this style as late as 1815. One dated as made 1812 has been found. Many such plain sideboards are found, while there are others showing elaborate inlay. This board has the wine drawer in one end. (Property of Mrs. B. P. Hodgman).
PLATE IV. Bottom—Hunting Board—Pine. (North Carolina—c. 1800-1830). A hunting board of the plain type, with moldings resembling the early chests. Dates on pieces of this type are difficult to determine, but they were made late. (Property of W. S. Ahern).
PLATE V. Top—Sheraton Hunting Board—Mahogany. (Georgia—c. 1800). The cut of this finely-made hunting board of the later period is somewhat indistinct, but the legs are nicely reeded, and have the carved leaf design in the tops, a design which has been found also in tables and sideboards. (Property of Francis D. Brinton).
PLATE V. Bottom—Early Empire Hunting Board—Mahogany. (South Carolina—c. 1810-1830). The large reeding in this piece reflects the tendency of the period of making its furniture larger in size. Pieces of this type, however, are not plentiful.
