Regency Burr Elm Library Table
About the Item
An Exceptionally Fine Quality Easrly 19th Century, Regency Period, Burr Elm Library Table, Or Writing Table, Having Superbly Figured, Lobe Ended Top, Over Three Frieze Drawers Opposed By Three False Drawers To Reverse With Omolu Mounted Decoration, Raised On Elegant Scrolling End Supports With Attractive Foliate Carved Decoration, Termination On Four Splayed Legs And Original Engraved Brass Castors.
This beautiful table is really quite a wonderful piece of furniture and its difficult to start in terms of deciding how to sing its praises. Constructed from the most fabulous, tightly figured, burr elm veneers which retain a rich, warm colour the top is incredibly elegant, which is only enhanced by the shaped ends.
Another sign of exceptional quality is the ormolu mounted decoration which adorns each and every drawer, or false drawer and the panelled ends.
It is raised on bold end supports, constucted from sold elm and these have been carved with exceptional decoration. It would have taken an incredibly skilled carver to create this particular design.
All of the above is even further enhanced by the mahogany drawer linings and engraved brass castors, both of which are another real sign of quality.
Clearly made in one of the top workshops of the time every last detail of this table has been executed by highly skilled craftsmen and the result of that is a table which would add class, sophistication and elegance to absolutely any space into which it is placed.

- Fine Regency Mahogany Library Centre TableLocated in Lymington, GBA fine Regency period tilt-top brass inlaid mahogany and calamander library center table. Raised on a concave-sided triform base, with well-modelled cast-brass scrolling feet. Also referred to as a monopodium (table). All in excellent condition, well figured, and of very good rich color. Typical of designs by Thomas Hope (1769 - 1831). This form of antique table is also associated with work by George Bullock (1777 - 1818) and George Oakley (circa 1765 - 1841). Refs: A similar table with a leather insert, in the manner of Thomas Hope, circa 1800 - 1805, was sold in London for £39,650 - December 2010. This early 19th century table is reminiscent of the ‘Grecian’ style that the pioneering collector and designer Thomas Hope (1769-1831) popularized in Britain with the publication of ‘Household Furniture and Interior Decoration’ in 1807. Thos. Hope (banker, born 1769, d. 1831) The furniture manufacturer George Oakley (circa 1765-1841) was greatly influenced by Hope’s designs, and produced fashionable furniture in this style, using brass and star inlays similar to our table on offer. The firm’s designs and craftsmanship earned them royal patronage, and Oakley worked for the Prince Regent at Carlton House, as well as supplying furniture and upholstery for The Mansion House and The Bank of England. His work for the Cheere family - of Papworth Hall, Cambridgeshire, UK - is well documented. The reference to Geo. Oakley relates to a known table of this pattern in calamander wood and brass marquetry of starred-ribbon guilloche, which corresponds to the brass marquetry in a table supplied by Oakley in 1810 to Papworth Hall.
