Tavern Table, Oval Top
New England, probably Portsmouth, New Hampshire
Circa 1740
Maple and pine - SOLD

The oval top with generous overhang on molded apron raised on splayed turned legs joined by molded box stretcher...on feet that are about full height. The recessed apron is a tradition of the gains shop.
Condition: The top was appropriately replaced during the early 19th century and displays beautiful oxidation on the underside; shrinkage shadows support the fact that this retrofitted top is very early. There are other minor imperfections such as shrinkage fissure in upper leg blocks. Very good surface.
