<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 306004, member: 5066&quot;]I picked up this 1730 or so william &amp; mary gateleg table at auction during a HUGE snow storm that had new england shut down a number of years ago. There was a note in the drawer from the person who owned it who lived in Weymouth Mass, a burb of Boston i think. The base is maple, the top is mahogany but what really attracted me were the hinges. They were forge welded iron butterfly hinges attached with hand wrought iron nails, i asked the restorer to leave a couple nails per hinge as he wanted to remove them ALL and use screws instead. No, you can&#039;t see the hinges unless you turn the table upside down but the fact i know they are there is enough. It&#039;s ALL about the construction details you know!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]100419[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]100420[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]100422[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]100423[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
