A mahogany tilt top occasional table
A mahogany tilt top occasional table, circa 1760 and later, with piecrust edge and birdcage action above the lappet carved baluster and tripod base, 66cm high, 56cm diameterCondition Report: Overall there are marks, scratches, knocks, scuffing and abrasions consistent with age and useThe piecrust top is a little loose jointed on the birdcage, some of the screws to the bearers are loose and the top is slightly bowed so that when placed upside down the rim does not lie touching the floor all around. The piecrust top is detached from the birdcage at time of report, one of the supporting rails is loose to the underside of the top so not holding on the 'hinge' at time of report it was balanced to take the catalogue image. The peg to secure the birdcage to the stem appears to be later associated There are signs of filled screw hole fixings to the centre of the underside of the top suggesting that this table top was possibly not originally on this base.The turned upper section of the column has a join with the leaf carved lower section of the column suggesting that the upper section is later. The locking mechanism appears to be the originalOld splits and cracks, some chips and losses, one lower leg has an old split and repair including a filleted piece of timber, the colour is good here and well disguised.
