Old refinished surface with rich color. Mid 19th century. Each 29" H, 45" W, 20 1/2" D (closed).
  Provenance: From a Shenandoah Valley private collection. Property of Maurice Derby Leach, Jr., and Virginia Baskett Leach, Lexington, VA.
  Catalogue Note: These banquet table ends descended in the Cowan family of central Kentucky. Captain John Cowan (1748-1819) was an early explorer, settler, and developer of the state. Likely born in Augusta Co., VA, Cowan married Mary Craig (1748-1837), the daughter of Captain John Craig (1718-1802) and Sarah Laird of Rockingham Co., VA, on September 14, 1781 near Harrisonburg, VA. Captain Craig was also an early Kentucky settler who eventually took up residence in Lincoln Co., KY. In fact, the Craig's residence on Gilbert's Creek is noted on John Filson's famed 1784 map of Kentucky produced nearly eight years before statehood. John Cowan's family ultimately settled in Danville, a growing town situated in Boyle Co. just northwest of the Craig homestead in Lincoln Co. Both the Cowans and the Craigs were important families in the early history of Kentucky, and they maintained close ties through marriage, business, and other matters.

  Condition

  Losses and repairs to veneer and other areas of restoration. One fall-leaf detached but present.
• Shipping Info

  • The buyer is responsible for all associated shipping costs.  

    ---

    To expedite shipping, we recommend payment by Visa® or MasterCard®, cashier's/certified check or money order. 

    ---

    Standard shipping charges include our packing fee and the cost of shipping with insurance (based on current UPS or USPS fees).  A handling fee may be charged for packages that must be taken to the Post Office. Alternate shipping options  

    ---

    Our account with UPS provides for a daily pick up, therefore no handling fee applies to packages shipped via UPS.

    ---

    Special requests for alternate methods of shipping are acceptable, but may result in an additional cost to you.

    ---

    We offer professional packing and shipping services.  All packing is done in-house. 

     

    We pack for shipping only upon request and we work in order of request.

     

    Once a package is ready to ship it is weighed, measured and processed through the USPS and/or UPS system in order to determine cost of shipping including insurance and additional services (e.g. delivery confirmation) as applicable.  

     

    Shipping charges include a fee for packing time and materials.  Our time is billed at $15.00 per hour and we use recycled materials whenever possible at no cost to the buyer.  If purchased supplies (e.g. boxes) are used, that cost is passed on to the buyer as part of the packing fee.

     

    (Our $15.00/hour fee is prorated, therefore if a packing job requires 30 minutes and no purchased supplies, the total packing fee would be $7.50.)

     

    The actual cost of shipping/insurance and packing/materials cannot be determined until packing is completed.  Once known, the shipping charges are applied to the buyer’s invoice and he/she is notified of the cost by email (or by phone if we have no email). 

     

    We may pack/ship for 150-250 people after each auction.  The entire post-auction process generally takes 2-3 weeks to complete. 

     

    We work as quickly as possible, however, not everyone can be first in line.  If you are are in the second half of our packing order, it may be 2-3 weeks before your package ships.  We appreciate your patience and assure you that we will take excellent care of your items.  

    ---

    Buyers are not obligated to accept our packing/shipping service and are welcome to make other arrangements if desired.
