An Outstanding Diminutive Tavern-Table
Maple...including top
North Shore Massachusetts-Coastal New Hampshire
Circa 1740
This tiny example of tea table size and proportion has survived in remarkable condition. The top and bottom edges on both inside and outside of stretchers and the rails are molded and are without compromise as are the beautiful ball feet-each retaining full pad. The long drawer beneath the deeply chamfered top retains its original knob, which is turned of ash. The securing of the top...with generous overhang...and retaining its original wood pegs-has been tightened by the addition of four similar size pegs all in close proximity. Although the table experienced no insult or abuse and it retains traces of red stain...it was long ago refinished. The top measures 33 by 20.375-inches; height: 24.375-inches.

Tavern Table
Exceptional turned legs, small size
New England
Maple and pine in old surface
Circa 1730 - SOLD
The rectangular overhanging pine top on strong block vase and ring-turned legs joined by a molded straight skirt and box stretchers remaining on original feet. The single drawer with a single large front dovetail and one and one-half rear dovetails has a simple nailed bottom and was rabbeted to be side-hung however it slides on drawer runners appearing contemporary to the table. The dado exhibits oxidation and color congruent with other areas suggesting that the runners were an afterthought. The pine top is simply nailed to base; we loosened the top for inspection proving it to be original. The surface is ancient and dry with rich color and patina; appears to be old red resin stain with traces of black paint.
