A magnificent and early tripod table in beautifully burnished oak. Single piece oval top which is unusually thick chamfered at the edge to imply lightness, bird cage action allowing the top to rotate. Large superbly turned baluster stem with well drawn swept legs. Having run out of superlatives it only remains for me to say that this remarkable table is as good as I have seen, proportion, colour, condition and patina are outstanding.
English. circa 1670
Height 68.5 cm ( 27”)
Width 77 cm ( 30 1/4”)
Depth 67 cm (26 1/4’)
