A charming country period Chippendale drop leaf table with some tiger maple striping. The carved fluted and chamfered legs are more commonly seen on formal mahogany and walnut  examples. The legs swing out to support the leaves.

The top of one leg has pieced repairs of 5 3/4" by 3/8" and 2" by 1/4". The top edge of one leaf has a replaced piece 9 3/4" by 1/4". Two glue blocks are missing. The top has its original pegs, but also four round puttied areas which probably cover newer dowels added for additional strength. The felt pads on the bottom of the legs are just stick-ons.

The table has its original iron hinges, but the screws are of varying ages. The legs are mortised and pegged. There are hand wrought rosehead nails attaching the secondary pine supports to the maple undercarriage. The casing of the undercarriage is dovetailed. There are remnants of the original red wash or paint. The very old finish is a pleasant honey color. Fortunately, no one tried to remove the pan burns or other evidence of use.

A rare and unusual stand designed to hold two hogscraper candle holders, so that there would be ample light to work by. The mortised T-base is extra large and heavy, so that there would be no chance the stand could tip over. The octagonal work shelf is attached to a support cleat fastened by hand wrought rosehead nails. The cleat rests upon a collar notched out of the tapered shaft. The hogscraper support is adjustable and held in place by a threaded stop.

Other than a nail securing a break in the cleat, the stand is in very good condition. The T-base is made of chestnut, the shaft of hickory, the work shelf and hogscraper holder of white pine and the cleat of birch. The hogscraper candlesticks are not included, but one of them is listed for sale separately. Additional photos are attached by the magnifying glass icon.
