Very Rare Matching Queen Anne Walnut Dish-Top Tilt-Top Candlestand and Dish-Top Tilt-Top Tea Table, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Circa 1740

With their molded dished tops, four battens securing their birdcages, turned baluster with a ring turning below, and cabriole legs ending in identical trifid feet, this Queen Anne tea table and matching candlestand undoubtedly stem from the same Philadelphia shop. Both represent a rare pedestal table form as only a half dozen are known with this foot form. A closely related cherrywood tea table of this form with the same feet is pictured in a Philip H. Bradley Co. advertisement in The Magazine Antiques (June 1972).
