Bidspirit auction | Federal Tiger Maple Tilt-Top Candle

Federal Tiger Maple Tilt-Top Candle Stand - American, circa 1800-1820, a handsome Federal period tilt-top candle stand crafted in vibrant tiger maple, the square top with serpentine corners set on a turned vasiform pedestal above a delicate tripod base with shpaed legs. The top tilts upright on its original mechanism, allowing the table to be conveniently stored when not in use. Tiger maple valued for its stirking grain and shimmering depth, and this example displays excellent figure throughout, with a warm, glowing surface that speaks to its early 19th-century origin. 28 in H, 24 in.
