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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRegency period, circa 1830\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlame mahogany throughout - rich original colour and two-century patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrisp gadrooned moulding running continuously across top, frieze and platform base\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwin spiral rope-twist columns - no losses, no repairs, no restoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo working drawers with original brass ring pulls\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMatching dummy drawers to reverse - composed from every angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour original brass lion's paw castors - all present and fully functional\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDrop-leaf top extending to 148cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsmanship \u0026amp; Detail\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hawkins Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57123975430521,"sku":null,"price":1200.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/6633\/8937\/files\/shopifymainsofatable.jpg?v=1776876216","url":"https:\/\/hawkinsantiques.com\/products\/antique-19th-century-mahogany-sofa-table-drop-leaf-2-drawer-desk-table","provider":"Hawkins Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
