Cadwalader

The Met x Eichholtz presents the Console Table Cadwalader, a sophisticated centerpiece that commands attention. Crafted with a striking black marble top and a sculpted base in rich black wood, this console table embodies elegance and grandeur. The flowing curves and refined silhouette pay homage to 18th-century craftsmanship, while the deep tones and fine materials bring a sense of modern luxury. Designed to elevate any interior, the Cadwalader adds a dramatic yet timeless presence. HISTORIC PROVENANCE The Console Table Cadwalader takes its inspiration from a remarkable 18th-century American table in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art once owned by General John Cadwalader (1742–1786), a prominent Revolutionary War–era figure in Philadelphia. The original table—likely created by a London-trained carver newly arrived in America—combines the fluid ornamentation of the French Rococo style with the naturalistic precision of English carving. This refined blend of European artistry and American history is reimagined in a contemporary form through The Met x Eichholtz collaboration.
