PERIOD EMPIRE TWO DRAWER DROP LEAF STAND With our compliments we are offering this fantastic Empire "work table" circa 1820 from a fine Newton , Massachusetts Estate. These stands are often called sewing tables but the correct terminology for them are work tables. This one is a sweetie! It is executed in the usual crotched mahogany veneer. The veneer is in excellent overall condition having only two veneer chips worthy of mention on the feet. These have been photographed consistent with our policy of making the most complete and accurate statement of condition that we are able to. The top drawer of the stand has dividers lending to these stands commonly being called "work tables". The drawer bottoms are all chamfered around each of the drawer bottom edges proving its accuracy as a period piece that has not been restored. The stand sits on small brass caster wheels. The stand's drop leafs have the usual slight warping, but do not effect the table's leafs from being extended and supported by the swing and tuck away arms fitted under its leafs. The stand is finished all around making it displayable from any angle you desire. These stands offer a versatile usage and make a statement you'll be proud of in any room you place this impressive little piece in. This stand is 29" tall, 20 ½" wide (with leafs down) 38" with leafs open and 1 9 ¾" deep. These are both very prized and pricey little tables. But they are inexpensive! Our philosophy guides us to sell more items for less then hold on to over priced pieces. The estates are coming at us with such velocity that we simply need to sell faster while we are building a customer base that has come to rely on our representations as both fair and accurate while demonstrating that we have some of the finest quality items obtainable on eBay.
