About the Item

QUEEN ANNE CARVED AND FIGURED SYCAMORE FLAT-TOP HIGHBOY New England States, circa 1760-1780 formerly with Sotheby's in 2003 Item # 209MPN16S A very fine flat-top highboy executed in beautifully figured and patinated sycamore, it features a bold cove-molded crest over four graduated drawers in the upper divided by drawer blades that are openly dovetailed into the sides of the case. The generous waist-molding surrounds the joint between the upper and lower portions, the lower with a single thin horizontal drawer over a pin-wheel carved central drawer flanked by two drawers of equal size. All drawers retain what is almost certainly the original hardware, these being beautiful bright-cut brasses and matched escutcheons - the escutcheons are merely decorative, as no locks were ever on any of the drawers. The apron is a brilliant display of undulating waves that emanate out from a central cupid's bow. The entire form rests over beautifully profiled cabriolet legs terminating in padded feet. Preserved in a wonderful overall condition with a brilliant surface patina throughout. It was offered at Sotheby's, New York on May 22nd of 2003 as lot 853 where it achieved $ 12,000. The labels from its sale there remain affixed to the underside, the leg and the backboards. Measurements: 68 3/4" H x 20" D x 38" W Condition Report: Old finish with a wonderful well-preserved patina under later shellac; wear, scuffs, scars, oxidization and grime present throughout as expected, but overall the case presents very nicely. There is an abrasion to the upper left leg and the back edge of the right side of the case that we can have colored upon request. Retains what appears to be the original brasses (knob originality unknown). Various triangular patches on drawer lips and other minor breakouts throughout that were repaired over the years (sides of drawers, back left edge of the left side of the case, the crest with numerous repaired cracks, etc). Bottom right corner of the left side of the upper section with a small loss (at the left front corner just above the waist molding). Some 20th century nails used on the original backboards. Pure structure, no alterations or additions; a very fine piece.

Rare English Queen Anne Antique Miniature Salesman Sample Tilt-Top Table

Located in Shippensburg, PA

A RARE AND FINE QUEEN ANNE MAHOGANY MINIATURE SALESMAN'S SAMPLE TILT-TOP CANDLESTAND England, circa last quarter of the 18th century Item # 403RPJ02P An exceedingly fine and rare salesman's sample of a perfectly scaled-down tilting top candlestand, it is crafted from dense mahogany and retains a rather early finish. The surface glows brilliantly under the old oxidized shellac, this turning nearly black in some areas with rich ruby hues coming through as rubbing and handling have worn it. The table is an exact replica of what a client would expect to receive in full size, a piece that would likely have been created for salesmen to take to prospective buyers to showcase what their shops could achieve in wood. The table retains its original battens on the underside, these flanking the original latch and catch that allow the top to easily rotate for storage. It is raised on a turned column with a swollen vasiform baluster over the curvy cabriole legs. Measurements: 12 1/2" H x 11 7/8" diameter Condition Report: Old finish with exceedingly fine silky surface patina throughout, old scuffs and abrasions that have oxidized, minor scars, a large stain (likely ink) to the top; old repaired break to one ankle; one screw missing from catch on underside of table; original hardware, original butterfly iron...

A VERY FINE AMERICAN GRAIN-PAINTED ONE-PIECE CORNER CUPBOARD New England, circa 1805 Item # 305PXF05C An incredibly fine one-piece corner cupboard formerly acquired at Sotheby's in 2013 for $ 15,000. The original and beautifully worn surface is incredibly lively with a rich texture in the symmetrical brush strokes with the natural rubbing through the paint from over two-hundred years of gentle handling. It is crafted in one piece from pine primary woods and poplar secondary woods and features a nine-light glazed upper door with beautifully molded astragals that opens with a replaced brass knob to reveal an interior divided with two fixed shelves. The lower portion of the cabinet is missing its knob and opens to reveal the single shelf that evenly divides out the space. And most attractive is the size, which is delightfully diminutive and allows it to be a part of any space without overwhelming the interior. An untouched treasure.
