AN AMERICAN CHIPPENDALE CHERRY GATELEG GAME TABLE, LATE 18TH/EARLY 19TH CENTURY, the nicely figured cherry hinged top with rounded edge above a single frieze drawer enclosing a pair of bronze bale form handles with "C" scroll and foliate details on stylized floret back plates, over molded trim raised on square form Marlborough legs with fretwork bracket corners and ending on conforming block feet; height: 28 1/4" width: 32 1/8" depth: 18", opened depth: 36 1/4".   Provenance: Estate of Francis E. And Henrietta C. Judson, Wayne, Pennsylvania.

Good restored condition for American tables of this age, use and materials including but not limited to expected old surface scratches, marks, some very small burn spots on top when opened, dings, age cracks, old repairs, a few small restorations, and normal surface buildup in crevices. The brackets are probably later. The bronze handles are old, worn and stylistically work for this table, when removed they reveal nice original darker patina with an outline exactly following the floret backplates. There are no other holes drilled for handles and one handle is missing its back screw with one floret backplate.         Simpson Galleries strongly encourages in-person inspection of items by the bidder.
