Antique Cherry Drop-Leaf Side Table with Three Drawers and Turned Legs, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, circa 1830-1840

A charming Pennsylvania Sheraton-Empire transitional drop-leaf chest, found in Lebanon County, a form associated with that area. It was probably made as a sewing chest, and it works just as well today as a small side table, bedside table or compact console. The leaves drop to give a slim footprint and lift to open into a roomy surface for a lamp, drink or laptop.

The Sheraton influence shows in the turned legs and the applied turned half columns on the front. The rounded top drawer is an Empire feature and points to a date of about 1830 to 1840.

Cherry primary wood, with mahogany-veneered drawer fronts and poplar secondary woods. The three drawers are dovetailed, with walnut drawer bottoms, and they have newer glass knobs.

Dimensions: 30" H x 17¾" W (leaves down) x 18½" D. Each leaf is 7¾" wide. Opens to 32" W.

Condition: Good antique condition with age-appropriate wear and use marks. There are several small veneer patches and repairs on the drawer fronts, as shown in the photos. See less
