help to identify antique table a

I just purchased this antique side / stand table and would like more info. on it. Style for sure and age? I am thinking Sheraton and earlier 1800's, but am not sure. Burl wood on the front? Made of walnut? There are tiny nail heads around the bottom underside of the table, as if something had been attached there at one time. Very old looking with the narrow hand cut dovetails in the drawers. Photo of front and bottom showing screw and tiny nails. Thank you for help on this.

 

? sewing table...just a guess

 

It is a mahogany Pembroke table. Circa 1830. The mass of your example makes me think this is transitional to the Empire style.

 

Agreed Sewing Table
Mid to late 1800s.
I think the pulls may have been replaced.
There may have been a utility bag that was attached under the table.

 

I defer to Brad. I see he manage to post first.

 

Those knobs are odd.

 

Thank you

 

they look like burl wood....quite nice...but not for that table....

( & you thought I was going to comment on...odd knobs..!! )

 

Thank you for your replies and help on this table. I took one knob off carefully and the wood underneath is much darker, as if it has been on there for a very long time. Possible mark from an original smaller knob there but I cannot tell for sure. I do like these knobs, so will plan to keep them on the table I think.

 

When I read that last night, I thought you said oLd. I must have been tired.

 

What sort of knobs would have been on this table originally?

Could have been round wood knobs...metal knobs ,,,,or maybe even with a pull, & I've seen glass too.

Lots to see online...... BUT.....I haven't yet seen anything even remotely looking like your burls,,,

 

I just unscrewed both knobs to look carefully underneath. On the one where I could see some light scratching that made me think that perhaps another knob had been underneath I now think that it may have been caused by a rough spot on the back of the hand turned knobs. On the other knob I don't see any sign of previous knob. Perhaps a cabinet maker with a more experimental / artistic side ? What would you guess?

 

I'd like to see a profile of this knob.

 

If I were replacing drawer pulls.....I'd want them to cover the darkened area of the previous ones.....

 

Here is a side view of the drawer knobs.

 

Profile doesn't look right for old original knobs. Probably old replacements.

 

Thanks for letting me know.
