ConstructionThe round, single-board top has a rounded edge. Underneath is a cleat with ends rounded in plan, chamfered in section, and attached to the top with three (possibly original) nails and a (probably later) screw at one end, and two (probably later) nails and two (probably later) screws at the other. Centered on the cleat is a rectangular block with a molded edge, which contains a peg securing the top to the turned pedestal below. Each leg has rounded edges above and square edges below, ends in a simple padded snake foot, and is attached to the bottom of the pedestal with a large dovetail joint. The stand is painted white. Examined by P. E. Kane and J. S. Gordon, January, 2008; notes compiled by T. B. Lloyd. |
