Chippendale Tilt Top Carved Tea Table

Probably Salem, Massachusetts
Ca. 1780-1790
Mahogany
Condition: Fine, one minor early repair to an ankle, retains a wonderful mellow old varnish finish. This table shows all the great attributes found on Salem tables; the well defined molded edge around the serpentine top, the turned urn form shaft, and the crisp and bold acanthus carving on the legs and the carving of the ball and claw feet. From the collection of Fred Rogers and Lois “Kit” Rogers.
