dc.descriptionNext to the Chippendale Desk is a small writing table. This plain little table with its straight legs and sleek lines appears to be built in the style of Hepplewhite, which was popular from 1780 to 1810. However, according to an 1848 interview with Gabriel Ford, this table was a favorite of General Washington. Ford claimed that Washington used this table for writing letters and that ink spots on the table were left by General Washington. In the back of the fireplace is an iron plate with the British Royal Crest cast on its obverse. This is called a "Fireback" and was used to radiate heat into the room.
