About the Item
AMERICAN CHIPPENDALE WALNUT TEA TABLE
Pennsylvania, probably Chester County
Circa 1770
26 5/8" H (rested) x 31 3/4"
A fine walnut tea table of the Chippendale period, the tilting top is turned with an integral raised-bead edge from the solid planks. A pair of battens on the underside with original screws allow the top to rotate up so that the table can be stored in the corner as a presentation piece when not in use. The "bird-cage" structure beneath the top allows a more comfortable tea service, whereby the top can be rotated so anything on the table can be accessed without getting up from the chair.
Common to tables of this form from Chester County, but not wholly unique to that region, the tiny pillars beneath the top are a nearly perfect miniaturized match of the turned profile of the pedestal. This features an exaggerated swollen baluster encircled by a thin incised line over sharp ring-turned embellishments. The three cabriole legs dovetail into the pedestal with an original iron bracket affixed on the underside for strength. Note the crisp and very fine ball and claw terminals, each with taught muscles and sharp outstretched talons..
Condition Report:
Old refinish with attractive patina throughout; top with discolorations, scuffs/surface history from use over time and a water ring; minor edge wear and some loss to the rim. Original collar, cleats, iron clasp/catch and bird-cage - the wedge absent (we can fabricate a replacement upon request). Minor losses to toes of feet, lower portion of one toe chipped away. Ready to place, a fine presentation.

Rare English Queen Anne Antique Miniature Salesman Sample Tilt-Top Table
Located in Shippensburg, PA
A RARE AND FINE QUEEN ANNE MAHOGANY MINIATURE SALESMAN'S SAMPLE TILT-TOP CANDLESTAND
England, circa last quarter of the 18th century
Item # 403RPJ02P
An exceedingly fine and rare salesman's sample of a perfectly scaled-down tilting top candlestand, it is crafted from dense mahogany and retains a rather early finish. The surface glows brilliantly under the old oxidized shellac, this turning nearly black in some areas with rich ruby hues coming through as rubbing and handling have worn it. The table is an exact replica of what a client would expect to receive in full size, a piece that would likely have been created for salesmen to take to prospective buyers to showcase what their shops could achieve in wood. The table retains its original battens on the underside, these flanking the original latch and catch that allow the top to easily rotate for storage. It is raised on a turned column with a swollen vasiform baluster over the curvy cabriole legs.
Measurements: 12 1/2" H x 11 7/8" diameter
Condition Report:
Old finish with exceedingly fine silky surface patina throughout, old scuffs and abrasions that have oxidized, minor scars, a large stain (likely ink) to the top; old repaired break to one ankle; one screw missing from catch on underside of table; original hardware, original butterfly iron...
