Three part American Federal dining table in the Hepplewhite style consisting of a center dropleaf supported by four stable and two swing legs.Two half round tables complete the table. This design first appeared in England, became popular for it’s versatility, and continued in use in America and England well into the 19thc. There is extensive string inlay along the edge and the perimeter of the top as well as in the veneered panels of the skirt. Because of this, and the lavish use of pictorial inlays , the shape of the line inlay on the leg, and the secondary woods, one tends to attribute it to Maryland, perhaps Baltimore, The table has an old refinish. There are repairs to shrinkage in the skirt, leg, and minor mahogany loss at a hinge point on a rule joint. Hinges are original. c 1790-1820. Size center 48 1/4 w.
59″l. each board panel measures 20″. Each half round table is 26 1/2″ x 48″w.

French style server

JoanPalmer — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 03:45:35 +0000

This is not an antique. Not by my standards. And I don’t know who made it! Is it lovely by my standards? Decidedly. And it has a beautiful finish on deep dark mahogany. I judge it to be early 20thc.Perhaps late 19th.. The style is Louis XV, the leg a long graceful cabriole with scroll foot and a simple elegant carving to the knee, the skirt is handsomely shaped with fine moulding and simple cartouche to the front and back.At it’s widest parts, it measures 28″deep and 59″long x30″h. Perfect condition, ready for the hall, behind the sofa, or as server in the dining area, it’s an” anywhere” piece, elegant and practical. Finished on all sides, it can stand in the center of the room.
