[QUOTE="Maaike van der Velde, post: 13115400, member: 114671"]Looking at the extra photos, I think Drew may be onto something. The visible seams and rather rough finishing around the cups and bases make me a little cautious about a mid-19th century date. I wouldn’t put too much weight on the threaded rod alone, though. A photo of the nut/threads and the hidden surfaces where the brass meets the wood might be more revealing. My guess would be late 19th to early 20th century. Very nice pair either way — the figured wood really makes them.[/QUOTE]
