Miscellaneous: If sofa, attributed to firm of Slover and Taylor on stylistic grounds on basis of set of labeled chairs (see "Antiques", Vol.4) as are all other unlabelled pieces mentioned in bibliography, is actually by Slover and Taylor, its date is 1802-1804. If however, it was made by Abraham A. Slover alone, or in connection with any of his partners, the date would be c.1792-1804.Note Type
