Each in overall decent and complete condition, light wear, scratches, old scuffs and some water marks and stains to the surface consistent with age and use, a few scattered age cracks along grain, some flaws to grain at insides of legs. one very slightly wider and taller than other, noticable only when side by side, possible slight reduction at joints of shorter. Tables rock slightly, otherwise very stable with tight joints

Of waistless, 'four-corners flush' design, simianping, with inset rectangular top, the base of the apron and the inner edges of the legs with a subtle beaded molding, legs joined with a stretcher shelf with inset rectangular panel and molded edge, all raised on square legs terminating in "hoof" feet; the finely-grained, dense timber with subtle luster, of pleasing warm brown tone, lighter at the tops.
Note:
For a 17th century stand of less elegant proportions and no beaded detailing, see the example sold at Bonham's, London, May 12, 2022, lot 53. Compare also the pair of stands with heavy apron spandrels below the stretcher shelf and blockier feet, sold at Bonham's, London, May 15, 2014, lot 360, dated 18th/19th century.
