Set of four Sheraton style, tiger maple chairs. They have what is called a turtle-back with a pillow-top. All four have their original rush seats. The varnish has darkened with age and is very crackled and on close inspection, you can see one leg has an old repair which is hardly noticeable. This leg and the rest of the chair is completely sturdy, as are the other three chairs.

| ANTIQUE DIMINUITIVE FRENCH CANADIAN ARMOIRE C. EARLY 1800'S |
| This fabulous little armoire has the traditional form of the period. Its uniqueness is the size: petite with classic raised panels, molding on the bottom over block feet.There's no central panel on the front separating the doors so it could easily be used as an entertainment center. This is a wonderfully pure piece of Quebec history for those who truly appreciate the French Canadian workmanship. I can't rave about it enough! Great waxed dark green paint worn to perfection. Two shelves in a nice clean interior. The oxidation of the wood on the inside is all similar in color. There are forged nails in the top. The construction of the piece is mortised and pegged. Also, the hinges were replaced since there are marks on the inside of the doors from the pins of old snipe hinges. There's an old repair to the top molding on the left side. Condition: it's hard to see, but the molding is split diagonally and replaced from that spot to the left corner and then continuing along the left side. Size: 42"w 20.5"d x 49"h |

| ANTIQUE FEDERAL TIGER MAPLE BREAKFAST TABLE |
I believe this to be a New Hampshire Federal Breakfast Table made from a medium tone tiger maple wood, c. early 1800's. Simply turned heavy center column with plain ogee curve legs. A drawer is located on either end, wooden hinged supports for the drop leaves, and a decorative touch of a ball placed under each corner. The table is in very good condition except for a very slight warp to one drop leaf. The pulls reflect the period, but are replacements. The original surface was striped at some point in time and now has a soft mellow patina. This piece is a lovely example of a center column breakfast table: simple lines letting the nicely figured curly maple be the focal point. Condition: age split on the top and the column (pictured). Size: top: 17"W 38"L x 29"H, drop leaf: 11"W x 38"L

| LATE FEDERAL SALT BOX C. EARLY 1800'S |
| Late 1700's New England salt box with wonderful cutout work on the top. Mahogany wood with naive inlay on the upper front and the drawer. Salt over the years has oxidized the square nails which discolored the surrounding wood. This piece has a charming quality as it tries to emulate the finer salt boxes of the period, however, it's a country piece made with loving care and shows its age. Size: 18"h x 9"w x 6"d |
