Bidspirit auction | Federal Inlaid Tilt-Top Table

Federal Inlaid Tilt-Top Table - A Federal mahogany tilt-top center table, early 19th century, featuring a circular top with striking radial veneer patterning centered by an inlaid medallion. The top tilts on a birdcage mechanism above a carved pedestal with acanthus decoration, terminating in three boldly carved claw-form feet. The underside reveals original structural supports and hardware consistent with period construction. The dynamic veneer pattern and sculptural base combine to create a dramatic yet refined presentation typical of the Federal aesthetic. A substantial and impressive example. 60 in. H (when tilted), 49 in. D Condition: Excellent condition. Veneers stable and well preserved with strong figure; tilt mechanism functioning properly; carving crisp; structurally sound.
