Sample Drop-leaf Table

Our “Pick” this week is another hard to find item. It is a very collectable, antique, maple, Gate-leg, drop-leaf table in it’s original finish. The table stands 10 1/2″ high and the top measures 15 5/8″ by 21″ when fully open and 15 5/8″ by 8 1/4″ when closed. There are some rings and light stains on the top; these only add to the charm of this adorable little table. Salesman’s sample furniture is a wonderful collectable for the furniture lover. The small size makes for an excellent display and there are sample sizes of many larger pieces of furniture.

Beautiful Antique Oak Plant Stand

Our “Pick” this week is just in today and it is a beautiful antique oak two tier plant stand. The turnings are reminiscent of the Victorian style yet the tiers are shaped with unmolded edges suggesting that is was produced after the Victorian era. This piece was most likely produced between 1890 and 1930. It is made of solid oak and appears to have been recently refinished and stained a nice Jacobean Oak color. The Tulips were looking particularly nice today, I thought everyone should see them.

Large Salt and Pepper Collection

Our “Pick” this week is just in. A large collection of salt and pepper shakers, many are hand painted early 20th century. They are mainly single salt or peppers so this could be a great opportunity to replace a broken heirloom or make up a set of similar styles. I have seen in this mix shakers made in Bavaria, Japan, Nippon (Early Japan) and Czechoslovakia. The group is mostly hand painted porcelain, there is some luster ware and some nice glass shakers.
