A wonderful floky and quirky table that dates circa 1800. It has a nice worn dry attic surface. The drawer construction is unusual with the back board being canted for no particular reason.

STOOL IN OLD PAINT
This is a very nice wooden stool in wonderful old salmon paint. The under side of the slab top is scattered with old holes and tool marks. Looks like it was used as a work surface at some time. The sides have some holes from times past when the stool was upholstered. Judging by what I can see, it looks as though this stool may have been upholstered originally then the upholstery removed and the stool painted and then it may have been upholstered several more times. When we bought it, the upholstery was no longer in existence. The salmon paint is early and the stool has a wonderful surface. The top measures 13 1/2" X 6 3/4". It stands about 6 3/4" tall.

18TH CENTURY LADDERBACK ARMCHAIR
This armchair is beautiful but is a bit short in height. It has a nice tall back which gives it wonderful presence. There are five arched slats. It is a mushroom arm chair as you can see the mushroom finials are extremely worn, especially the one on the left. The chair has nice sausage turnings on the front and back posts. Everything on the chair, with exception of the replaced natural rush seat, is original. The overall height to the top of the finial is about 46 1/2". The seat height at the front center is 14 1/2". The chair would have been quite a bit taller because the very bottoms of the legs retain pockets, that are now filled, that would have held another set of front and rear stretchers.

SET OF EARLY 19TH CENTURY SHELVES
These shelves are really great because of the wonderful old surface, and the detail of the arched aprons under each shelf. There are four shelves. The three bottom shelves are approximately 10" apart from each other. The top shelf is about 11 1/4 " high. The shelves are all 6" deep. The overall dimension of the piece is approximately 47" tall and 42" wide. It is made out of white pine. It has a great applied cornice molding at the top. The surface has a wonderful crusty brown paint. The shelves are constructed with square nails. The back is not as old as the shelves and was added at a later date but certainly not recently. The back boards are cut with a circular saw. The bottom and sides of the set of shelves has been cut unevenly.. This is the way I found them hanging in a cellar in a Granby, CT home. Despite the cut, these have a fabulous form and surface! The shelves are fantastic for displaying pewter, ceramics or painted tinware!

BURL FOOTSTOOL
This is an unusual item to find made from burl. The top is shaped octagonally and it has beautifully beveled edges. It is made from a very heavily figured piece of burl. I am guessing that it is ash. The beveling gives the top a lighter look. It is actually a 1 7/8" thick slab of burl. The legs are either ash or oak. They are shaven to an octagonal shape, probably with a draw knife. The legs have an old crazed surface. The burl top has been refinished. The height is about 9". The top measures approximately 12 1/2" X 9 3/4". This is such a rare piece to find in burl!

A Mahogany mirror if American or English origin. It has its original glass, backboard and medallion decorations. The surface is an old refinish.

The sight size of the mirror measures approximately 19 5/8" X 11 5/8". there is some deterioration to the silvering on the mirror as you would expect to find on a period piece.
