Vermont Hepplewhite splayed-leg stand in pine, with original brown paint. Dramatic stance and excellent proportions with an overhanging top, edge molding, tapered legs and a wide skirt. 27-1/4"H x 17"W x 17"D. Circa 1790-1820, probably Upper Connecticut River Valley origin. SOLD.

French Provincial baker's sawbuck-base table with a sliding top instead of a drawer, in original green paint and with the original scrubbed top. The sliding top allows access to utensils while you have flour-covered hands. Excellent patina. Nineteenth century. Sold.

Matched with a signed Heywood Bros.-Wakefield side chair in the same paint. The cane seat is loosening on one side, but is usable.

Vermont bureau with four drawers, turret top, four fluted columns on turned feet with reeded cylinder ankles, cockbeading around the drawers, solid curly maple drawer fronts, with maple, cherry, pine and poplar woods, and with an owner's label circa 1840 of M.W. Reynolds, Middlesex, Vermont. Replaced brass pulls in original holes. Middlebury-Montpelier region, circa 1810-1825. This is a rare and creative form, with the reeding of the ankles reflecting the fluting of the columns. The maker of this country bureau had an artistic, sophisticated eye. Condition: old, mellow refinish, and a five-inch section of cockbeading is missing. This is a rare tidbit of Vermont material culture; you will never find another one like it.

Pair of vintage Venetian glass table/floor lamps by Andromeda, Murano, Italy c. 1973, in three layers of blown glass.

When off, the lamps appear to be black, but when they are on the red glows through the black. Lozenges of clear glass with silver inclusions separate the globes, and they have chrome circular bases. Excellent condition and unique.

The true color is red, not the violet the camera shows here.
