It's  not Belter.  Belter did 4 legs not a central pedestal.  He also didn't do drop finials (because there were legs where they are).  The apron has no carvings as Belter would have done.

Looks more like Baltimore/Maryland vicinity than New York.
Nice reference piece...it sold at auction for $2,000 in July.  I had my eye on it.  It had some condition issues and I have my usual money issues.
