<p>[QUOTE="laura9797, post: 9906385, member: 9323"]When I first saw this Chippendale style low table, I thought it was really cute and the claws on the ball feet were nicely done. I have seen a few English pieces that had the intent to fool - hardware from 18th/19th century, old nails etc but after really examining the piece, it does appear to be newer with old construction. I opened both drawers on this piece and the pulls are mounted with snipe hardware that you would see for hinges and there is no patina or oxidation on the metal? There was some work in the feather banded top which I thought might be walnut but could be mahogany I guess. There are no dust boards? I was kind of amazed by that. The drawer bases appear to be newer wood but then you look at the at the top of the legs and they look they were worked by hand. I feel like this is such a lovely little drop leaf table and had to be done by someone who knew what they were doing? I always get in trouble going down these rabbit holes because of how this piece was represented as antique when it is likely 'vintage' - or am I wrong? Thoughts? Approx. height 22.12 in., width close drops 25.5 in., width open 37.5 in., depth 16.87 in.
