Made in America, possibly New York or New England, circa 1800.
Made of Walnut, cherrywood and satinwood.
The table is diamond in shape and the turned tripod base and feet appear to be made of walnut.
The feet have beautifully simple, pointed toe feet …. ‘classic’ examples of ‘period’ American side tables of this Era!
The square platform, attaching to the top to the base, has a brass catch/latch insert, with a ‘period’ brass button clasp on the underside of the table top, for the tilting mechanism.
The square table top, itself, appears to be mainly cherry wood for the central square section, which in turn is then encased in a walnut square border and edged with a beautifully patinated striped satinwood.
The central diamond on the table top is likewise a striped/burl satinwood of very high quality, edged with boxwood.
There is a visible crack on the top and it appears that at some stage in its history, someone turned the table top 90 degrees, so that the baton supports underneath would support the weakened section with the crack. We have no doubt, however, that the top is original to the base and not a ‘marriage’, as the line (as one can see in the photos) on the base of the top where the batons were previously located perfectly matches the existing batons.
The table is very ‘stable’ but the top (once locked in the down position) has a very slight lean towards the repaired cracked section. This is not significant and does not detract from the beauty and utility of this piece. We have, however, reflected these repairs, etc. in our pricing.
It is also obvious, that the table was ‘always’ diamond shaped.
It is the use of the cherry and walnut, coupled with the toe feet, that tells us, that this is ‘unmistakably’ an American Sheraton piece.
Provenance: From an Outstanding Private Dallas Collection.
