About the Item

A fine pair of George III period mahogany demilune card tables with provenance Of Sheraton style, these fine tables were made c.1800 and employ fine cuts of top quality mahogany. They are of demilune, semi-circular, form, a style made popular by the likes of Robert Adam during the neoclassical period in furniture design in England. These tables have contrasting stringing around the tops and below the frieze but are otherwise not inlaid or carved, they rely for their visual impact on the high quality veneers used with the timber grain patterns being extremely attractive and rendering any further decoration unnecessary. The tops are supported on gateleg actions and they have baize lined interiors, all raised on square topping legs with spade feet. Pairs of card tables are always sought-after by collectors and decorators alike and these are particularly interesting because they were removed from a fine period property in Hampshire, Dumpford Manor House. Circa 1800. Provenance Removed from Dumpford Manor House, Trotton, near Petersfield, Hampshire

Pair of Late 19th Century Demilune Side or Console Tables in Neoclassical Style
By Edwards & Roberts
Located in Lymington, Hampshire
A Fine Pair of Late 19th Century Demilune Satinwood and Inlaid Side or Console Tables in the Neoclassical Style Attributed to Edwards and Roberts This fine pair of neoclassical-style tables are of demilune, or semicircular, shape and veneered principally in satinwood. Large-scale panels of satinwood have been laid on the carcass of the frieze to give a segmented effect, which is very attractive. The tapering square-sectioned legs and contrasting spade toes are all classic Sheraton design features, being reused here a century later. The most impressive parts of the tables are undoubtedly the beautiful tops, with the central feature being an inlaid fan-shaped patera, centered by a smaller example of the same form with additional penwork foliage on it. This, in turn, centers on a semicircular feathered boss. Around the edge of the tabletops is a wide crossbanding upon which a repeating neoclassical design featuring penwork scrolling foliage and urns is delicately executed and highly attractive. Footnote: The quality of the present tables indicates that they would have been produced in one of the leading workshops of the period. On stylistic grounds, the most likely maker is Edwards and Roberts. Particularly adept at producing furniture in the inlaid Sheraton style, the firm had an elite clientele and, as such, was able to make the finest furniture without cutting corners. For an example of a Carlton House table...
