ConstructionThe circular top has a plain rounded edge. A segment of a circle is inscribed on the underside of the top, to which is attached, by means of four large and four small screws, a cleat, whose edges are chamfered and whose ends are rounded and tapered. The top of the vasiform and ring-turned pedestal is doweled into the cleat. On the bottom of the cylindrical base of the pedestal is a metal plate, affixed with flat-headed nails, which obscures the joints between the pedestal and the cabriole legs, which end in shod snake feet. Examined by P. E. Kane, July 25, 2012; notes compiled by T. B. Lloyd. |
