A CLASSIC piece of Western Americana furniture from circa 1860-80.
These types of side tables turn up in the American Heartland and were pieces that were specifically made for ‘pioneers’ settling the ‘Western Frontiers’.
They were constructed so that they could be easily dismantled for transport and re-assembled upon settlement.
Made of beautifully patinated tiger oak, the table has a square table top comprising of 4 interlocking oak planks.
The legs are turned and form a twisted style (similar to barley twist). They slot into carved holes on the underside of the table top and are almost 45% in angle downwards. They are secured at the mid-lower section by a tiger oak carved shelf and they end in cast tin/iron feet which end in claw feet holding a rock crystal globe/ball.
Beautiful rustic simplicity with a “touch” of character with the feet!
Provenance: From a Texas Estate.
Condition: Good condition. Top and shelf restored to original condition. Some cracks to the rock crystal feet but not noticeable.
