Chippendale Tea Table

At Mack S Headley & Sons, we specialize in the restoration of handcrafted furniture. This mahogany is a very early table. Seen in the tidewater area of Virginia

This table was missing it's top when it came to our shop. We added a new top. Each top is solid mahogany and only one board each. Period card table hinges. 

Drawers are dovetailed but have this unusual beading on the top edge of the drawer sides.

Early English drawer construction transfered for the colonies from and English trained cabinetmaker 

Back left leg swings which supports the folding top

Hand cut finger joint to connect swing leg, fly rail, to the table base. Folds in for a smaller footprint, folds out for the larger footprint.
