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

CIRCA 1790

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.
