Rare Ferguson Bros 7640 Kidney Candle Stand Table Scalloped Rim Stamped Leather

A truly exceptional find for the discerning collector: an authentic Ferguson Bros. Mfg. Co. (Hoboken, NJ) Kidney-shaped Candle Stand, Model No. 7640.

This desirable occasional table features a stunning "Pie Crust" scalloped rim and a genuine leather inset top adorned with elegant stamped (embossed) detailing (note: no gold gilt present). What sets this piece apart is its authentic historic patina—the leather surface bears the marks of decades of use, likely from candle wax and heat, telling a story that modern reproductions simply cannot replicate.

The fluted mahogany pedestal and tripod legs are finished with original heavy metal ferrule feet (tested: slightly magnetic, likely plated steel or alloy), adding a layer of sophisticated weight and class. This is not just a table; it is a piece of American furniture history.
