A Fine George III Carved Mahogany Tripod Table, attributed to Thomas Chippendale, circa 1760-1770, the moulded circular one-piece top pivoting on a block, on a fluted and reeded vasiform support with three carved cabriole legs decorated with husks and terminating in scrolled toes and recessed small castors
80cm by 74cm
Provenance: Sotheby's, New York, 18 October 2006, lot 315, hammer price $150,000 (150,000 US dollars)
The attribution to Thomas Chippendale is made on stylistic grounds and how the underside of the table top is moulded which is similar to an unprovenanced table in the collection of Temple Newsam House, Leeds.
This group of tables have similar stop-fluted shafts with carved husks and flattened paper scroll feet similar to a pair of candlestands supplied by Chippendale to Blair Castle in 1758.
