When I look at this piece of Meeks & Son it appears that the top is all wrong for the style. lmot as if it were a marriage of as jacon4 said a later example. Even in a later example you would think they would stick with the basic lines.
 http://www.americanclassical.net/janda/products/products_details.php?productid=331&ptitle=Classical%20Meeks%20Labeled%20table%20SOLD

This one was sold. Please note there is no elaborate carving and it is from the 1835 period though



Yeah, I'd give up on the whole Meeks attribution idea at this point.

Would be far more well made in England during this period...

Great big ugly feet on the thing - what's that about ?

Nonsense. The die is already cast, the outcome guaranteed. Nothing like a colony....errrr "state" .....with a brogue. Our tourists will flock there! "Look honey, that guy wearing the skirt still thinks he's independent! How cute" ;D ;D ;
