The tabletop is composed of four ring porous boards, possibly red oak or another oak, and veneered with figured maple on the top surface. Applied to the outer edges of the tabletop are turned maple half round moldings, decorated to resemble bamboo, with regular flared and incised rings enhanced by black paint. The tabletop overhangs a frame of eight boards with mitered corners. The frame segments are screwed into the tabletop and have glue blocks at each corner; the frame and glue blocks are also ring porous and possibly oak. The frame is veneered with figured maple on the outside face, and has a maple half round molding decorated to resemble bamboo applied along the bottom.  Screwed to the underside of the tabletop is a support board, cut into a flattened polygonal shape. This board is ring porous, possibly oak. The maple pedestal base attaches to this support board. The pedestal has a plain disk or ring at the top and then is decorated to resemble bamboo, with a slight taper for most of the height of the table. The taper becomes more dramatic near the bottom of the pedestal, which then terminates in a large ball drop. The ball has crossed incised lines on the top, enhanced with black paint. One line, parallel to the support board under the tabletop, continues underneath around the circumference of the ball while the other is cut into half the circumference.  The table has four legs. These are decorated to resemble bamboo and curve outwards from top to bottom; they also taper gradually, widening from the top down to the foot. The tops of the legs have small disk and ball finials. One leg has a small splatter of green paint. Each leg is attached to the central pedestal with three stretchers, graduated in size and turned to resemble bamboo. The bottom, largest stretchers attach to the ball drop of the pedestal and are all at the same level. The upper two stretchers are staggered at uneven heights. The stretchers attach to the pedestal and legs with round mortise and tenon joints.  The feet are integral to the legs, and have an underlying snake shape with two rings of carved half spheres; most of the feet have six half spheres in each row, but two have only five spheres in one of their two rows. The background of the half spheres is textured with scattered straight gouges. The feet are separated from the legs by two incised rings, painted black."},{"label":"Date Digitized","value":"7/25/2018"},{"label":"Marks, Signatures, and Inscriptions","value":"None found"},{"label":"Basis of Materials","value":"The veneers on the piece are clearly figured maple, while the characteristics of the decorative turnings are also suggestive of maple, including the light coloration and diffuse porous structure. The secondary woods are ring porous with large open pores; the grain pattern and presence of visible rays make oak a likely species for these sections. The moldings are accented by black paint and held on by nails. Screws are visible from the underside of the piece."},{"label":"Materials","value":"Maple; Figured maple; Oak; Red oak; Nails; Screws; Paint"},{"label":"Style","value":["Eastlake"]},{"label":"Basis of Date","value":"Family history identifies this piece as part of a wedding gift in 1871."},{"label":"Date (EDTF)","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:1871"},{"label":"Basis of Origin","value":"John Vaughn worked in Boston in 1871, when the set was purchased."},{"label":"Place of Origin","value":"Boston, Massachusetts"},{"label":"Basis of Maker Attribution","value":"Rosamond Warren Gibson (1846-1934) wrote that the bedroom set, a wedding gift from her parents in 1871, was purchased from \"John Vaughn.\" The only Boston-area furniture maker or retailer working in 1871 is John J. Vaughn, who advertised primarily as an upholsterer. Vaughn was active in Boston from about 1862-about 1874. City directories identify him as an upholsterer employed by Henry A. Turner or Henry A. Turner & Co. from 1862-1867. He is listed under his own name from 1868-1869 and under John J. Vaughn & Co. from 1870-1873. In 1872 and 1873, Charles J. Blaney is listed as a partner in the firm. Some of the city directory listings for John J. Vaughn & Co. state that the company manufactured furniture as well. It is possible, however, that Vaughn only retailed the set and that it was made elsewhere; the faux bamboo treatment is commonly associated with New York City.  John J. Vaughn relocated to Haverhill, Massachusetts, sometime between 1874 and 1876. An 1877 Haverhill newspaper includes an advertisement for J. J. Vaughn, Interior and Exterior Decorator. In 1880 he is listed as a commission merchant in Haverhill."},{"label":"Maker","value":["Blaney, Charles J., upholsterer, interior decorator, and furniture retailer, active about 1872-1873","John J.
