The delicately shaped rectangular top rests on a finely turned baluster stem, which flows into a graceful tripod base with softly curved legs. Crafted in cherry, the surface shows a warm, mellow tone that has deepened beautifully over time, highlighting the simplicity and balance that define Federal design.

Originally intended to hold a candle or small object near a chair or bedside, stands of this form were prized for their versatility and light footprint. Today, it works equally well as an accent table, lamp stand, or display surface, adding a subtle period presence without overwhelming a space. The restrained elegance of the Hepplewhite style allows it to blend seamlessly into both traditional and thoughtfully layered interiors.

In nice antique condition with wear consistent with age and use. The top shows surface wear and minor marks from generations of use, along with light wear to the base, all contributing to the honest patina expected of an early American stand. A classic and useful piece of Federal-period furniture with enduring charm. 28h x 20w x 14d See less
