6 leg drop leaf table

Back in 1990 I made this table on a commission. I copied it from the original which is said to be the table the Boston Tea Party was planned around. The table is made of Swiss pear wood. I made 4 of these, one was recently sold at a Rhoades Auction. Of the 4, two are in museums and two in private collections.

Wonderful table Bill, and thanks for the photo of the underside of the table showing how the legs work. I also like it that the table has two swing legs on each side, the ones that only have one leg on each side always kind of look unbalanced to me.

I agree Elga.  The two legs per side are so much better than one, and you don't have to straddle the leg when you sit at the table.  I love seeing the picture of the bottom.
