Among the more typical Americana found at Garth’s such as the American blue painted pine hutch table dating to the late 18th to early 19th century (Ex. John Henry, Maine and estimated $4,000 to $6,000) or the fine New York H e p p l e w h i t e mahogany and pine serpentine-front sideboard featuring elaborate decoration with sawtooth edges, small flowers, and fourteen ovals (Ex.
