I think that's right as you are in Mich. I don't think there being no tool/lathe marks is that big a deal, birdseye maple tends to be very hard...
American 18th century tables with slate tops are much less ornate, here is a repro by Eldred Wheeler. The original (can't find a pic at the...
Not really no, it's not american which is a BIG no no over here plus, i need another "tavern table" like i need a another hole in my head. I just...
I hope they do as well, will post if they respond. Still, i am 99% certain the table at Pook in Pennsylvania is swiss built, the construction of...
Not A Clue! but i like the birdseye maple! very nice bowl. I think it being out of round is a good thing (sign of age due to shrinkage) but i...
Well, I know very little about Biedermeier furniture but it's my understanding it covers the 1st half 19th century where bottom table form is...
Here is auction description of bottom table, they are calling it "Baroque" which i think corresponds to the william & mary period with that X...
Yeah, I think auction misnamed this table because they didn't know what it was. The form is basically the same as an american "tavern table" which...
I think it's swiss, i enlarged the top on bottom table and although it's an earlier example, very similar inlay, SWISS!

Interesting table, i have seen slate top american tables before but not like this. American or English do you think? Late 18th century, maple....
LOL @ half right! Could it be french? any things possible i guess but, i doubt it. The top is odd as well, i would guess it's replaced. It should...
pics of late 18th century american "tall chest" form [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It looks to me like a late 18th century "tall chest" with 2 or 3 bottom drawers missing.
Yes, I would. The straight stile feet is another tip that something is amiss, there should be feet & an apron as well & not straight stiles as...
No, not replaced, missing altogether, there could have been more drawers on bottom of chest originally. 3 short drawers over 2 long drawers...
Guesses NE, dunno which state, 4th quarter 18th century. It seems that a bottom drawer or 2 may be missing.
Looks more like walnut to me, seems very well crafted but no clue who designed/built it. I would check with MCM furniture dealers that handle...
I have seen these before here in the carolinas recently, upon entering a home 2 were sitting in chairs in the dining room which was visible from...
How DARE YOU! get in the way of their fantasy! BANNED!
