Greetings,
We encourage your emails or calls during the weekend as well. Thanks.
One of the most desirable categories of Americana is curly maple furniture. Sought for its rarity and radiating gold tones, this variety of wood has an iridescent quality that gives richness and depth to the surface. Today I'm very fortunate to offer four pieces in this wood. Above and below is Chippendale tall chest in the six drawer configuration with an overhang cornice above graduated drawers mounted with correct but later brasses. Below the case, tall original bracket feet are in bold form. H. 58", w. 38", d. 19". ,,
Hard to find in figured maple, a most special American fireplace bellows in a generous size with deep turnings and heavy central brass rosette.Circa 1800-30. Working. L. 19.5", w. 7.75".
Enlargeable images of any of these items with be supplied promptly at your request.
All of the items pictured here are available at the time of publication.
Antiques here are offered first to our subscribers before these pieces are added to our website. We are glad to make shipping suggestions.
Seldom seen, a curly maple "Hitchcock" style armchair, circa 1835, with a bell shaped seat in cat-tail rush. The arms have a strong scroll. H. 34,5", w. 21", d. 19".
Also in our collection, this Federal pedestal nightstand circa 1810-30, has a clover corner top on a central drawer over an urn tuned stem with slender saber legs.Minor restoration. H. 25.5", w. 18", d. 15.5". $765.
