Candlestand, Federal, Cherry
Eastern, Connecticut, probably Colchester
Circa 1800
A distinctive, delicate, and highly individual expression
The square top with applied molding is above a column raised on elegant and highly unusual legs. The column is raised on highly unusual legs; the curvaceous interior arch displaying height and movement. The gradually slopping upper-leg sharply descends from the knee to raised pad feet. The chisel-cut spider is attached by original nails; the resin surface with dry flat patina appears to be original as are the moldings applied to square top...the tiny nails were refreshed long ago. Typical of these tripod bases having legs dovetailed into base of column is the ubiquitous shrinkage fissure; three early (small) square nails and a single screw remedied the situation during its early period of use. This table was bought many years ago from an early Colchester, Connecticut family home. (Height: 28 3/8-inches; top measures 16 7/8 by 17 3/8-inches.)

A FEDERAL MAHOGANY OCTAGONAL
TILT-TOP CANDLE STAND
NORTH SHORE, MASSACHUSETTS
CIRCA 1790
This successfully proportioned stylish candle stand features a vibrant mahogany top with a rosewood cross-banded edge and a central flame birch panel within a geometric border. The top pivots on two mahogany batons and is secured in the horizontal position with a circular brass latch, which is original to the table. The top is raised on a ring turned post with a delicate laurel wreath carved central vase; this specific leaf decoration is a motif used by Salem carvers including Samuel McIntire. The post joins three delicate slender tapering scrolled spider legs with geometric inlaid cuffs. The table is in excellent condition with a fine old surface that may be original. A small fissure in the top has been reinforced with an inset Dutchman in the back. Mahogany with birch block and light and dark wood inlays. (Height with top up 41; dimensions of top: 22 x 14 7/8-inches; height with top down 29-inches.) Mahogany with birch block and light and dark wood inlays.
