This lovely Boston area Hepplewhite games or tea table is in a favorite form with strongly serpentine side aprons and a bow front, all in matched flame grained veneers. The folding top conforms to the case and is of beautifully grained mahogany with light and dark inlays at the rims. Each leg carries a light wood tablet with a checkered surround connected to the case with more line inlay. The tall, slender legs continue to the floor with line inlays terminating in bracelets. There is overall very good color and finish. Only minor repairs can be found on this clean and sturdy piece.. The top is 36' wide and 18" deep when folded. As always, I am glad to show this for your careful consideration and inspection here or by email and mail. No major repair.
The early Chinese export tureen is of good size for decorating a dining table or sideboard. Attractively mounted with a floral finial above light blue and pink panels, flowers and tendrils flow onto the sides, top, and foot. There is an "invisible repair" to a line crack at the foot. Length 14 1/2", height 11".
The French Directoire pier mirror has a terrific old patina to its gilt surface with character that only a true period antique can have.The molded surface is highlighted with a beaded inner rim. The size is 43" X 26". Picture it placed on the wall of your elegant entry, $495. From a distinguished local collection.
The blue on white plates are about 8" in diameter in a transferred Chinoiserie design. These date about 1800-20 and designed with basket weave and reticulated loop form giving a most delicate appearance. The English origin of these reflects on the strong competition in that era between British makers and the Dutch and English importers of Chinese porcelain. Minor condition issues and no repairs on this seldom found form.
