VERY FINE CHERRY QUEEN ANNE TRAY TOP TEA TABLE.

Mid-18th century, Connecticut. This example of refined and inspired design with a balance of proportion and delicacy seldom seen. With sweeping cabriole legs, creased knees and outset pad feet with a rhythmically scrolled apron featuring cupid’s bows centering a tombstone drop pendant on all sides. These carved moldings are applied at an angle to the upper portion of the apron,giving them greater projection and with conservation of stock. Thin apron has an applied under molding that with the overhanging top provides a great transition for the applied tray moldings. SIZE: 26″ t x 30-1/4″ l x 18-3/4″ w. PROVENANCE: Estate of Siro R. Toffolon of Old Lyme, CT. CONDITION: Very good condition with evidence of rejoining of the two board top and an absence of some bracing that was not original. Typical minor age cracks to two legs at the juncture of the apron. In pleasing old color and surface. Two fills in top at center from former cleat repair to top. Three small shrinkage cracks to two board top. 49597-12 (30,000-40,000) – Lot 2068
