An excellent Hepplewhite mahogany oval tilt-top candle stand in old surface, eastern Massachusetts, circa 1790.

This stand is an iconic Hepplewhite form with delicate proportions and a warm old surface. It features a richly grained oval mahogany top above a turned post with a molded urn. The delicate reverse scrolled spider legs terminate in spade feet. The post and feet retain a wonderful surface with a crackled finish.  A particularly nice feature is the original wrought latch and plate, carefully made and very authentic.
