Allen and Brother Egyptian Revival Marble Top Table

August 6, 2008

This Egyptian Revival parlor table constructed by Allen and Brother is an impressive one.  A table like this is shown in the May 1996 issue of Magazine Antiques and I wouldn’t be surprised to know that the table’s owner at the time, Judith Hollander, had subsequently donated it to the Philadelphia Museum of Art where [...]
