American Classical Carved Rosewood Tilt Top Breakfast Table, the circular top over a wide skirt, on a tapered cylindrical support with carved leaves at the tripartite base, on paw feet with casters, H.- 27 1/4 in., Dia.- 47 3/4 in. Provenance: “Little Oaks,” Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, the private collection of Dr. Donald & Deborah Bell.

Structurally sound piece, appears to be 19th century, retains an older mellow finish. Surface scratches, minor chips and dents in wood throughout, consistent with age and use. Scattered shrinkages throughout, some with separation with infill. Scattered veneer losses and veneer repairs on the base and the edges of the tabletop. Minor chips and losses to carved elements. Visible glue on petals on the base from an attempted repair, not professionally done. The tabletop is warped in places where there is splitting, notably a bit in the center and towards the side, see images. This is a handsome example. ________________________________________________________________________________ ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS."
