NEW ENGLAND MAPLE AND PINE TAVERN TABLE.

NEW ENGLAND MAPLE AND PINE TAVERN TABLE. Second half 18th century. Of unusual form; the rectangular pine top projecting above the canted apron, arched and scalloped on three sides, the fourth side rectangular in form, raised on blocked, ring-turned, swelled, cylindrical legs terminating in unusual ring-turned button and platform feet. The base with traces of old blue paint. SIZE: 29-1/2″ h. x 28″ w. x 19-1/2″ d. PROVENANCE: The Henry Dupont summer estate, Long Island, New York. CONDITION: The one-board top appears to be original, not reset. It was mounted with a 5″ overhang on one long side and a 3″ overhang on the opposing side. The top itself does not appear to have been cut, but rather designed this way. The shaped apron appears equally original; the plain apron runs along the side with the 5″ overhang. It is conceivable that the table was designed to fit against a wall, the extra overhang designed to compensate for a chair rail or base molding. The legs are also original, retaining original pins; the feet with appropriate wear having modern steel buttons at bottoms. The whole with skinned blue painted surface over traces of earlier red. 9-92816 (2,500-3,500)

Auction: Fine Art, Antiques & Asian - Spring 2008

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
