Description

This is an important painted Hepplewhite candlestand retaining its original paint decoration in exceptional condition. The candlestand was made circa 1800 most likely in New Hampshire. On the underside one can see the tiger maple grain with a thin red wash over it. The original black paint with its original shellac finish has that dry crusty surface that is so desirable to collectors. This may be the finest NH example of a floral painted candlestand we have seen. Date: Circa 1800

Dimension: 18" Square, 28.5” Height

Condition: Not only is it artistically accomplished but the colors remain bright and in original untouched condition.
