ConstructionThe mahogany cleats are stepped in the Newport manner. The stationary block is tiger maple, with incised line detail. The carved dish top has an outer detail which could be described as a half-round on top of a flat. The underside of the dish edge meets a slight rabbet. The joining of the legs to the shaft is covered by an iron brace. The brass catch is replaced. One leg is repaired with an underside splice. The top has a repaired break, with the grain, on one side near the ends of the cleats. The top also has a repaired age split. The block attachment to the shaft has been reinforced. There is evidence of casters having been attached. Source: http://www.hardenstudios.com/Antiques/Furniture/Tables/itempages/Newport_fly_tea_table.htm. |
