Overview

A fine Regency period flame mahogany drop-leaf sofa table, circa 1830. The Regency period produced furniture of extraordinary confidence, and this table displays every hallmark of the style at its most accomplished - the gadrooned moulding, twin spiral rope-twist columns, and original brass lion's paw castors combining to create a piece of complete decorative integrity.

Key Features

  • Regency period, circa 1830
  • Flame mahogany throughout - rich original colour and two-century patina
  • Crisp gadrooned moulding running continuously across top, frieze and platform base
  • Twin spiral rope-twist columns - no losses, no repairs, no restoration
  • Two working drawers with original brass ring pulls
  • Matching dummy drawers to reverse - composed from every angle
  • Four original brass lion's paw castors - all present and fully functional
  • Drop-leaf top extending to 148cm

Craftsmanship & Detail

The drop-leaf top is edged with crisp gadrooned moulding that runs without interruption across the top, frieze and platform base — a detail that lesser examples often apply inconsistently. Here it gives the piece a rare visual unity, as though carved from a single intention rather than assembled from parts. The twin spiral rope-twist columns are in exceptional condition, rising from a shaped platform base supported on four elegantly splayed sabre legs terminating in the detail collectors most hope to find intact: original brass lion's paw castors, all four present, all four functional. These were not standard fittings - they were chosen. Equally at home as a sofa table behind a settee, a writing surface in a study, or a statement console against a wall.
