and beautiful border of repeat drapery inlay; the tapered legs with an urn motif; the
stiles with diamond panels and floral paterae. Attributed to William Lloyd, Springfield,
Massachusetts, circa 1790-1810. The attribution to William Lloyd is based on the
similarity in form and inlaid detail to the masterpiece bearing the label of William
Lloyd, advertised ANTIQUES, inside cover December 1934. A sideboard of this form appears
on Lloyd's engraved label. 71
