Rare Queen Anne Oval Top Tea Table

New England, probably eastern Connecticut or Rhode Island, ca. 1750.

Black Maple.

Over-all in fine condition, retaining some original red-wash and varnish finish to the legs and skirt, with later application of red wash in the 19th century.

Provenance: Collection of Peter Tillou, purchased in the late 1960’s.

The oval top is supported to the base with a cleat. The skirt is carved and shaped on all four sides joining four cabriole legs ending in trifed feet, a feature not normally seen on New England tables.

27 ¼” h., 28 ¼” x 22" (top)
