Craftsmanship & Detail
The rectangular top is centred by a finely inlaid chessboard, framed by decorative banding that showcases the crisp contrast between pale figured maple and dark ebony - a combination of materials entirely characteristic of the Regency taste.

A versatile and decorative table equally at home in a study, library, or drawing room.
