Original Description:
Antique/Vintage Dollhouse Miniature Artisan Handmade Round Tilt Top Table1:12 
 This piece is at a minimum 67 years old. You are welcome to read the info belowthat will tell you where this piece came from. Sadly however i don't know whothe artisan that created this piece was, only educated guesses.
2 1/2" Tall 3 7/8" Tall when tilted2 13/16" Diameter
In good condition.  The pins that connect the base to the top were missing, so i replaced them wit...h older pins i had.I did not make any new holes in the wood, however there were two tiny holes there instead of one.I think this piece was damaged at some point and then repaired by making new holes for the pins.You will only see this if you examine the base of the table with a magnifying glass. Since i replacedthe pins the table looks and works great. I do want to mention there is a small round mark on the topof the table, which may be removable if you buff the top.See pics for best description.
This Table is coming from a collection of Frederick B. Hicks of Boston. He created a number of room boxes in the late 1930'swhich he donated to the Long Island Museum in 1974 where they were displayed until 2014. These room boxes were created after Frederick Hicks saw some of the Thorne rooms sometime btwn 1933-1936. This began his own fascination into miniature rooms.Mr. Hicks did create the room boxes himself, as well as some of the furniture. The furniture he did not make himself was made by skilled craftsmen.Frederick B. Hicks completed his Miniature Rooms by 1942. 
After looking over all the furniture pieces in the room boxes that i was lucky enough to acquire, i found stark similarities between piecesfound in Mr. Hicks' rooms and some of the pieces that reside inside Mrs. Thorne's  Miniature rooms. I found a photo of this cage table located in Mrs. Thorne's Colonial Philadelphia room box, and that table bares extreme similarities to a bird cage table in one of Mr. Hicks' rooms. I think because the boxes were created within a short period of time of each other perhaps Mr. Hicks employed some of the same craftsmen as Mrs. Thorne. Please understand that i am making an educated guess and can in no way guarantee this. I am simply giving my opinion after spending hours and hours researching these miniatures. These miniatures were made before craftsmen/artisans began putting marks orsignature on their pieces, and sadly i have not been able to find the names of the artists that made this exquisite miniature furniture.
I will be listing pieces from the Hicks collection in the next few weeks. If you are interested in a particular piece you see in the background or the actual roombox itself please send me a message with the piece you want and your offer. Only serious offers please.
