| 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. |
| sw01300: A Queen Anne Mahogany Candlestand, with Conical Shaft, Newport, c.1780 This candlestand is a typical Rhode Island, Newport, conical shaft which relates to the nautical aspect these Newport pieces are known for. This candlestand in particular has a very pronounced conical shaft which distinguishes it from many others. It is in perfection condition with an old, probably first surface and has a beautifully developed bracket under the top typical of the fine work these Newport, Rhode Island are known for. |
| 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. |
| sw01437: A Mahogany Federal/Classical Candle Stand with Basket, New England, c.1820 This is an unusual candle stand, in that it has a basket used probably for sewing material. These are rarely seen and ours is in perfect condition, with a solid serpentine shaped top of beautifully figured mahogany. The basket is beautifully integrated into repeating baluster turnings. The base is classical in design, with a shaped contour all of which are supported by turned feet. Which are interestingly developed with half turnings, at each juncture of support. |
| 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. |
| sw01203: A Tiger Maple Corner Washstand, New England, c.1810 It is rare to find a tiger maple corner stand fully in tiger maple; it’s one in a hundred. It has an old dry surface, and is original in every aspect, with no repairs or restorations. Note, it retains its original drawer, see details. It’s expensive, but it’s a true rarity in very fine condition; we will most likely not find another. |
| 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. |
| sw00607: Cherry Country Stand on Tall Turned Legs, Probably CT, c.1810-20 This worktable has its original grimy first surface, which is aged and quite dry. It retains its original drawer pull. What attracts us to this table is not only its untouched state, but the very long beautifully turned legs. For a piece that is not fussy, its turned legs are very elegant and sculptural. Obviously, this piece was tucked away for a long time. |
