The last picture shows my Irish table at the restoration place of Bernard Henderson of Pennsylvania while it was being restored. I believe that is the picture he sent back.
The first photo is in my home, the table now rests with a large coat of arms of Canada above it. The coat of arms is 80 pounds of cast iron that has been re-gilded and polychromed for highest impact. It is a very rare piece and although many people would like to own a coat of arms, they were only produced for Government offices, and one in a private collection such as this is very rare and desirable.

Those are fantastic!
Look at the feet!
Irish furniture is wonderful; your pieces amazing.
Irish Furniture Knight of Glin/Desmond Peill book is on Google books for those interested.
Thank you beauxPurdy, rockersd, wolcot1,luiosa, walksoftly,Bellin68,vetraio50,officialfuel, for all the love, I have the book on Irish Furniture of course, the author wrote a book, the prices go up after a book comes out usually, and then about a year later sold a lot of the pieces that were in the book that he loved, so much for his "love" of Irish furniture. The book however is excellent.
Do you know anything about the maker?
I like this table a lot.
Thank you, I love the table and still happy I bought it !~
Wow! How did I miss this earlier? What an impact!
Thank you Amber Rose and Rocker. Phil.
Wowzers amazing piece!!
Sorry vetraio, I do not know of the maker, there are similarities to other tables I have seen since, but not exactly, the book on Irish Furniture also shows some tables from as late as 1920's, and those were also some one of a kind masterpieces.
The Irish tables from the mid to late 19th century are now increasing greatly in value also, although purists would be happiest probably with 18th century table makers.
I had to have the table because it looked like the legs were about to run away !!~
