A Cherry Candlestand with Drawer, CT, c.1780

DEACCESSIONED

This is a rare form produced during the late 18th century, and somewhat
into the early 19th. Many of these candlestands have either lost their
drawers or have been modified to add the drawer, as those that
originally had one are extremely desirable and scarce. This is a perfect
example with no issues whatsoever. It has an old refinish, which now
has a mellow cherry color. Many of the columns on these tables are
somewhat plain, and this one has a beautifully turned urn typical of
Connecticut work. Note how precisely the column is turned. Also, note
the beautiful dovetails on the drawer. It was made by a fine
cabinetshop. See details. Note the age build-up under the top around the
drawer, indicative of the life it has had with oxidization mostly on
the exposed surfaces.
