The well patinated oval drop-side top, supported by four turned tapered legs, terminating on a pad foot.
Note: When closed perfect use as a hall or sofa table. When sofa table open one drop-side up to make a “D” shaped drinks table. Or fully opened as an attractive oval dining table. Good overall colour and patination.
A confident version of its finer cousins in mahogany. This table with well proportioned cabriole legs was undoubtedly the product of an experienced cabinet-maker who probably also used fine timbers for his upmarket range. The well grained five plank oval dropleaf top above attractive ogee shaped ends, resting on beautifully proportioned cabriole legs a slight noof pad foot.
The circular, well patinated, two-plank top on a refined turned vase shaped support, resting on three beautifully shaped down-swept cabriole legs, terminating in a narrow pad foot.
Notice the 19th Century handmade shaped steel braces securing the unusually thin top and a price tag from 1975 for $485, now valued at $3950 once restored.
Purchased privately today, November 14th 2018.
Still in need of a good clean, wax and to be photograped properly.
The well patinated pie-crust moulded single plank top, above a bird-cage revolving tilt-top base. Resting on a well turned and carved centre support, above beautiful out-swept cabriole legs, having shell-carved knees, terminating on a pointed pad-foot.
The circular top is mounted on a “birdcage” device which allows it to rotate, on a bold baluster turned pillar. This table is 18th Century in form, but the spur on the knees of the legs is a feature more typical of the first half of the 19th Century and suggests a later date.

The circular three plank top attached to a bold raised block support, joined to a hexagonal vase shaped pedestal, resting on three near flattened bold down swept legs.
Note, the book-matched medullary ray grain to both side top planks. Also the depth of the top has shrunk one inch over the past 250 or so years.
