O THE ANTIQUE DETECTIVE Anne Gilbert Candlestands And Look-Alikes Not every small, three-leg ged, tripod table is a candle stand. In fact, not every candle stand rests on a tripod. And, what about the candlestands that have more than one tier? Actually a simple check and balance system can determine the purpose of a tripod table. Just try putting a heavy ket tle, lamp or tray of food on what seems to be a candlestand. When put off balance it will, of course, tip. It was made to hold a candle. Since balance was important early 18th cen tury candles tands had a base that touched smoothly on the floor. The tripod base had a se rious purpose. It lessened the possibility of tipping on the un even floors of that period. Tripod tables were made for many purpurses. A sine table, for example, can be recognized by its’ small protective gallery of brass or wood (railing). A dumbwaiter table hald sweets and other tidbits on two or more tiers.

The look of the tripod base has changed since its’ origins in the 17th century. At that time the “x” base was pinned to the pedestal with a dowel. By around 172 S the legs were at tached to the pedestal with wedge-shaped joints or dove tails. The most elegant examples are considered to be Chippen dale. Some of these had tilt tops, piecrust tops or “bird cage” styling at the top of their column. Often the central col umn was carved and beautiful ly turned. Cabriole legs ended with carved claw-and-ball feet. Tops varied from round, oval, and octagonal to square. CLUES: Candlestands made during the Federal period(l7BB-1825) in the George Hepplewhite style, can be recognized by tripods ending in slipper, snake or spade feet. The elegant piecrust top was re placed by a lozenge-shaped top. The top was often centered with an inlay of Terms: Cash or PA check Sale ordered by Fanice Conner and Suzanne Homan, Executrixes lehrersburg Fire Company ling, Saturday, July 27, 2002-821 Lancaster Fan PUBLIC auction OF HOUSEHOLD GOODS, OLD QUILTS, WOOD WORK ING TOOLS & CARRIAGES SAT., AUG. 10, 2002 9 A.M.
