EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink rendering on paperboard, titled "Shaker Table, c. 1938," is a masterpiece by the renowned American artist Orville A. Carroll. Created during the 1930s or 1940s, this artwork captures the essence of a classic Shaker table from the United States. The table, with its simple yet elegant design, is a testament to the functional beauty of Shaker furniture. The Shakers were a religious sect that originated in England in the late 18th century and settled in America in the early 19th century. They were known for their minimalist and practical approach to design, creating furniture that was both beautiful and functional. This table, with its clean lines, unadorned surfaces, and sturdy construction, embodies the Shaker philosophy. Carroll's artwork is a meticulously detailed representation of the table, capturing every nuance of its design. The brown and colorful decorative elements are rendered with remarkable precision, from the intricate patterns on the drawers to the subtle texture of the wood grain. The table's location is not definitively known, but it is a period item that would have been a cherished possession in any American home during the 1930s or 1940s. This artwork is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts held at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Orville A. Carroll's "Shaker Table, c. 1938" is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important historical document, capturing the essence of a bygone era in American design.
