<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vernon Ward, post: 241893, member: 4664&quot;]Tthe graceful OG scrolled skirt.his type of table, no matter what you name it was originally designed as a bedroom piece to hold a pitcher and bowl on the top and a &quot;thunder jug&quot; on the shelf. The drawer was for holding razor, brush, etc. This particular example raises several questions: as mentioned earlier, the top seems too thin and actually fights with the nice OG scrolled skirt; the drawer construction is also quite crude for this well shaped design, but I have owned early country end tables with graceful Hepplewhite legs and the only tool used to make it was an axe or hatchet, no other tool marks were present. There are many examples of 19th century (or earlier) country pieces made by unskilled craftsmen with a sophisticated feel for design.</p><p>This definitely an interesting piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
