| sw00922: A Regency Inlaid Mahogany Pembroke Table on Saber Legs, England, c.1805 This small Pembroke table is finely crafted with a beautifully figured mahogany top, which is inlaid with satinwood and ebony line inlay, around a sizable rosewood banding. The saber legs also have ebony line inlay on the top of each saber. Unlike many table of this form, with square, tapered Hepplewhite legs at the corners, this table is less common and has a central, nautical style column with reeding just above the saber legs with notched corners and inlay. |
| sw00466: Queen Anne Mahogany Basin Stand on Cabriole Legs, England, c.1770 This is a fully developed model employing a triform design in which all is supported by scrolled elements. |
| sw00884: A Mahogany Dishtop Candlestand with Compressed Ball, Philadelphia, c.1780 This table is a typical Philadelphia candlestand with the desired compressed ball. The entire table has a first surface with only the top being waxed. It has that dark grunge look that is highly sought-after. We note two small finely-matched inset patches on the top. This table has a beautiful form and surface with the feeling of a well-cared-for 200-year-old table, and the dishtop gives it that special feature many candlestands lack. |
| sw00950: A Mahogany Queen Anne Candlestand, Newport, c.1760 This is a classic Rhode Island form, of which we have seen and handled number of examples. The last one we had was several years ago, of maple. This stand is of the more desireable mahogany, which is of a very dense and heavy stock. The top is a two board top with an original tiger maple baton. The turned column has the classic urn with the Rhode Island style wide leg ending in a pad foot (snake foot). This table has had no alterations or repairs, and is a fine example. |
| sw00858: A Birch Federal Candlestand with Notched Corners, c.1820 This candlestand has a very stylized cant to the legs, lending a distinctive vertical thrust, which makes it quite appealing. The column is a beautiful elongated baluster turning and the top is composed of a nicely figured solid birch. Note the distinctive finishing at the base of the column, and the incised lines at the top of the legs. |
| sw00841: A Federal Mahogany and Flamed Birch Veneer Basin Stand, Boston, c.1800 This basin stand originally belonged to Sarah Bass (1768-1838) and descended in her family to the present owner, from who we purchased it. This washstand, in an old surface, and in original fine condition is everything the purist collector looks for: history, surface, and condition. It is typical of Boston washstands of this period, and few have survived without damage and with a good old surface. |
| sw00708: A Birch Federal Candlestand with an Outstanding Reeded Bulbous Column, New England, c.1810 This good-sized candlestand is an eye-catcher with a beautiful tapered, reeded column that sets it apart from the ordinary. It is complemented with a top that has notched corners, and the entire table is lifted with a classical curule leg. This candlestand is in superb condition with no breaks or repairs, and retains an old refinish of which the birch exhibits a mellow amber tone. Note the original iron spider and undertable; all is in undisturbed condition. |
| sw00678: A Maple Candlestand in Old Surface with Baluster and Scroll Feet, New England, c.1800-1810 This is a country candlestand of beautiful proportion and form in superb condition, retaining its original grunge surface. It’s rare to find things 200 years old that are used as furniture which have never been broken and even rarer that have never been refinished. This is a small, precious candlestand which was obviously cared for through the years. |
| sw00047: Washstand with Square Chippendale Legs, c.1780 The top opens up on hinges. Shown below with fine Rose Medallion bowl c.1890, not included. |
| sw00741: A Federal, Hepplewhite painted stand, New England, c.1800 This black painted stand is a rarity, as it retains its original ebony (black) paint with painted line inlay and floral decoration. Note the crusting of the painted surface in the detail of the flower basket. This one drawer stand retains its original small wooden pulls. |
