TILT-TOP CANDLESTAND Southeastern New Hampshire Area, Circa 1810
In birch, with a nice, crusty, light brown, dark brown and brick red grain-painted finish that simulates walnut. Octagonal top on turned pedestal raised on spider legs ending in spade feet. Height 28". Top 20.75" x 14.75".
Provenance:
Israel Sack, Inc., New York, circa 1981.
Private Collection, New York.
Hirschl & Adler, New York.
Donald R. Sack American Antiques, Buck Hill Falls, Pennsylvania, circa 1991.
Private Collection, New Hampshire.
Peter Sawyer Antiques, Exeter, New Hampshire (retains label and accompanied by bill of sale).
Illustrated in American Antiques from the Israel Sack Collection, Vol. VII, p. 1895, item #P5088.
Peter Sawyer believes a similar table with the same cleat arrangement is in the collection of the Woodman Institute Museum in Dover, New Hampshire, and Sack cites a related example in the collection of the Corbitt-Sharp House in Odessa, Delaware. Other similar examples are in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan (illustrated in American Painted Furniture by Dean Fales, Jr., p. 99, item #165). Another similar example at the Strawbery Banke Museum in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, was discovered in the Piscataqua Region of New Hampshire. All are believed to have originated from the same cabinet shop.
The unusual box-like cleat arrangement seen on this table is thought to be indicative of Dover, New Hampshire, and the octagonal top, use of birch, the spade feet and the painted decoration points to a Portsmouth-area attribution. Lot accompanied by several pages of notes and research information.

An Important New Hampshire Collection Carefully and Thoughtfully Assembled Over Two Decades by New Hampshire Residents Lawrence and Dorothy Perkins.
