Queen Anne Octagonal Candle Stand Table

About the Item

A fine side table in every regard, the octagonal top is uncommon and very desirable, cut from a solid plank of mahogany with edges molded of the solid. Beneath the table, a chamfered batten stretches across the surface entirely undisturbed, still retaining it's original hand filed iron screws - the craftsman was generous with screws used to secure the top, recognizing the danger only a few screws could pose to the table top when shrinking and expanding occurs. As a result, the top is free of cracks or splits, retaining the same grain display the board was chosen for originally. Beneath the table is an old yellowed note, secured beneath nailed plastic, reading "Frank Morton from his loving mother Mary Alice Smith, Newton Towne, Nov. 15, 1898," while this possibly attributes the table to Newton, MA, parallels can also be made to design elements in this table to Boston and Essex County Massachusetts. The pedestal illustrates the standard design of coastal Massachusetts, a long tapered pillar over the ringed urn baluster. Beneath the pedestal is very attractive and quite distinctive scalloping, first in the legs on either side of the pedestal and followed in the actual shaft. The cabriole legs lock into the pedestal in the typical dovetailed manner beneath an iron tri-form bracket, identified as a "triangle" in price lists of the period, this still retaining it's original rosehead nails. The feet are incredibly attractive, a bulbous snake footed form with an outstanding profile that shrinks sharply into the tiny ankles of the leg. Materials: Mahogany (all primary surfaces), Birch (batten beneath table). Visual attribution. Measurements: top measures 20 3/16 (along the grain) x 19 3/4" (against the grain); 27 13/16" high Condition Report: Refinished, the overall surface very fine and attractive. Entirely original, including an undisturbed batten and original iron screws. Note nailed to underside of table. Plugged screw through base, probably later as a means of strengthening the leg. Outstanding condition.
