Federal Period Mahogany Candle Stand Ca. 1825

America Ca. 1825

details such as the raised reeded molding on the tops of the legs which stop a couple of inches above the

shaped top and the other one was like this with double elliptic or “clover leaf” shaped top. I suspect this group may have been made in the Albany, New York region.
