Description
With our highest compliments & utmost honors, Bay Colony Antiques is proud to offer for sale this exceptional 18th century antique Mahogany drop leaf table. This is such a rare CT River Valley table that we were struggling to find another example in our large research library. We're overdue for another visit to Historic Deerfield & they truly have the best CT River Valley collection. Item # HD 69.0315 is a closely related table but we believe this one is superior in every way. The table has an elongated scalloped top with a drawer on each end. The drawers were constructed with New England White Pine secondaries & have an unusual set of hand cut dovetails that extend over the drawer sides. One of the drawers has a couple of splits in the panel but it still works as intended & we'd recommend leaving it original. The legs have a string inlay, & we'd like to point out that the Mahogany used for the legs is grain matched to mirror one another. The table has a solid Mahogany top & we love the long narrow leaves. The table retains its original iron hinges, & the leaves are supported by double shuttle supports that fold into the table box. The table measures 19" wide x 41 3/4" deep x 28 3/4" tall. When the leaves are locked up the tabletop measures 35 1/2" wide x 41 3/4" deep. Antique Federal Period Mahogany Drop Leaf Table With Scalloped Top
