<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 565643, member: 5066&quot;]Who is everyone? I am disagreeing with you! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Your first example stand was mahogany veneer which does not show any joinery &amp; the second clearly states it could be 1850!</p><p>You haven&#039;t produced any other construction details on your stand except the drawer &amp; drawers were largely hand made until 1900.</p><p>Well, first a bit of history on 4 leg stands, they replaced 3 leg candle stands &amp; really didn&#039;t get going till the 1830s when oil lamps came into widespread use. These 4 leg stands were produced by the thousands, probably 10s of thousands in factories in Grand Rapids and&nbsp; Mitchell &amp; Rammelesburg&#039;s furniture factory in Cincinnati, starting in the 1840s.</p><p>There was a very small window of time there for 4 leg stands to be entirely handmade (unlike candle stands) and i argue that the vast majority of these stands that survive today are machine made, 1840s and later.</p><p>Yes, some 4 leg stands were handmade but, i need to see a lot more than drawer construction to be convinced. Simple as that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
