American Queen Anne Walnut Tilt Top Tea Table, Pennsylvania, circa 1770

Description: AMERICAN QUEEN ANNE WALNUT TEA TABLEPennsylvania, likely Chester County; circa 1770 Item # 902XBP01W A very fine and handsomely preserved walnut tea table, the tilting top is turned with an integral raised-bead edge scooped from the solid planks. A pair of battens on the underside remain undisturbed with original screws, allowing the top to rotate up so that the table can be stored in the corner as a presentation piece when not in use. The "bird-cage" structure beneath the top allows a more comfortable tea service, whereby the top can be rotated so anything on the table can be accessed without getting up from the chair. Typical of Chester County, but not wholly unique, the tiny pillars beneath the top are a nearly perfect miniaturized match of the turned profile of the pedestal. This features an exaggerated swollen baluster encircled by a thin incised line over sharp ring-turned embellishments. The three cabriole legs dovetail into the pedestal with an original iron bracket affixed on the underside for strength. Note the crisp and very fine ball and claw terminals, each with taught muscles and sharp outstretched talons. For the serious collector, this is a rare and exciting find. Measurements: 26 5/8" H (rested) x 31 3/4" diameter Condition Report: Old refinish with finely preserved patina throughout; top with discolorations and a water ring; minor edge wear/loss. Original collar, cleats, iron clasp/catch and bird-cage - the wedge absent (we can fabricate a replacement upon request). Minor losses to toes of feet.
