[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 486176, member: 5066"]The table arrived today, the top is highly figured walnut, old growth timber and 1-1/4" thick, it's heavy & removable (thank god) . Although not original it does look good, great in fact & much better than the Sotheby photo. The drawer is original and SIDE HUNG! with a single dovetail joining the maple drawer front, drawer sides are 1"+ thick & nailed at the back and bottom with hand forged iron rose head nails. The turned feet/ legs & aprons are original & hard maple, the 4 corner "brackets" and 4 "finials"/drops are probably not original. All in all, it's a really cool table & rare, there are only 20 of these early hi-lo stretcher tables extant in America and only 4 or 5 with a side hung drawer. Add in the pedigree/provenance and the fact that i stole it, I SCORED! :singing:[/QUOTE]
