A Mahogany Classical Candlestand, American, c.1820

This candlestand exhibits a vigorously turned column supported on three cabriole legs with carved acanthus molding and strong paw feet. It is of heavy, dense mahogany and is robust in its appearance. The top support is interestingly executed with long stylized batons. The acanthus on the top of each leg is well defined and typical of these type (see detail), produced during the end of the first quarter of the 19th century. The top is a single board with beautiful figure (see detail). There are no breaks, repairs, or alterations whatsoever.
