Federal Style Candlestand with Long Octagonal Top
The candlestand shown below was constructed from solid mahogany. The top is approximately 18" x 13" and
stands 26" in height. The construction of this Federal style candlestand includes a hand turned pedestal and hand
carved spade feet and legs which are joined to the pedestal with sliding dovetail joints. Various designs for the
feet, pedestal and top allow this table to fit in a wide variety of settings. The size, style, wood selection, and
coloring can be customized to suit the customer's requirements.
