Item Details
A very attractive early 19th century mahogany tray-top writing table, of elegant proportions and useful scale. The piece has a raised three-sided gallery with shaped side returns and pierced carrying handles, above a polished writing surface and two frieze drawers. The drawer fronts are fitted with particularly good quality brass knob handles with polished mahogany centres, an unusual and refined detail which adds considerably to the character of the piece.
The table has a light, practical form and would work well as a small writing table, dressing table, side table or hall table. The mahogany has a warm, rich colour with attractive figuring throughout, while the shaped tray gallery gives the piece a decorative quality without making it overly formal. The slim square legs and restrained construction give it a clean Regency-period look, making it suitable for both period and more contemporary interiors.
Width: 100 cm (39 3/8 inches), Depth: 53.5 cm (21 inches), Height to tabletop: 77 cm (30 1/4 inches), Height to top of gallery: 90 cm (35 1/2 inches)
Date of manufacture
circa 1800 to 1820
In very good, beautifully and sympathetically restored condition. The table is structurally sound and presents very well, with a warm polished mahogany surface, good colour and attractive figuring. There are minor marks, small surface blemishes and signs of age consistent with use, but nothing that detracts from the overall appearance. The drawers run well, and the brass knob handles with polished mahogany centres are a particularly fine and unusual feature.
