Massachusetts Chippendale 18th Century Mahogany Drop Leaf Dining Table

United States Ca. 1770

Great example of a coastal Massachusetts mahogany drop leaf table with very graceful legs ending in ball and claw feet. This example was probably made in the Salem area. Superior quality matched top with strong swirled figure. The depth with the leaves down is 18″. It retains a pleasing early finish that is lightly crazed

Worcester Blue Scale Heart Shaped Serving Dishes

A pair of under glaze blue scale 1st Period Worcester dishes with gold rococo scrolls and various shaped reserves of floral sprays. About as unblemished as they come. They only have the slightest rubbing of the gold on the edge and sparsely scattered light scratches. A prize for any collection.
