American Tilt Top Inlaid Mahogany Candlestand American Ca. 1790 A choice example of a type associated with the Boston area. The rectangular top with canted corners is edged with a narrow patterned inlay. The post is well developed and the "spider" legs have an excellent stance emphasing the best in vertical American proportions. The slightly over polished older finish is in very good condition. Price  Condition Very good antique condition. Catch is replaced. Post has a natural stress check filled with a narrow strip of mahogany. The screws appear never to have been moved. Each cleat at some time had two screws going into the block to keep the top from tilting. Measurements Height: 28.75" Width/Length: 21.85" Depth: 14.25" Specifications Number of items: 1 Materials/Technique: Mahogany, various woods used in the inlay, birch block, iron, and brass.
