About the Item
A 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.
Literature:
Parker, R. 'History of Papworth Everard' (1988).
Gilbert, C. and Beard, G. 'Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660-1840' (1986) pp. 658-660.
Calamander, or coromandel, is a valuable wood from Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia. It has a hazel-brown colour, with black stripes (or indeed vice versa), and is very heavy and hard.

George III Gillows Mahogany Rent Table
By Gillows of Lancaster & London
Located in Lymington, GB
A fine and rare English revolving drum-top library table in mahogany, attributed to Gillows of Lancaster, circa 1770.
This is a rare, compact form of a George lll-period drum-top library table in superb condition, retaining excellent colour and patina throughout.
The circular top fitted with green leather insert with gilt-embossed border rotates. The six working drawers retain their original brass handles - some of these frieze drawers with subdivisions for monies/ documents - faced with ivory numbers 1-6.
The fully-rotating top retaining its original internal steel castors, raised on a cabinet base with a locking cupboard - with original lock, period key and original brass pull - and a shelf within. The moulded panel above a generous plinth.
These are sometimes referred to as 'rent' tables when they have a recess for depositing cash. This library table has divisions in secure drawers fulfilling much the same purpose of receiving rent from an Estate's tenant(s).

George III Period Satinwood Pembroke Table
Located in Lymington, GB
A late 18th century satinwood Pembroke table of very good rich color.
George III period.
The top crossbanded in satinwood, bordered with fine lozenges of ebony stringing.
The edges ebonized with narrow mahogany crossbandings.
Raised on moulded tapering legs, indicative of a date circa 1770.
The frieze with two working mahogany-lined short drawers retaining the original gilt-brass Rococo mounts.
The two leaves are supported on the original recessed hinged ‘ear’ supports.
Overall in lovely original state. Some minor historic marks entirely commensurate with its age. Very good patination.
These antique Pembroke tables were designed to be versatile: as small supper tables; occasional tables; tea tables; or lamp tables - sometimes also referred to as ‘drop leaf’ or ‘sofa’ tables.
The majority of these Georgian tables are raised on square tapering legs or, when of a later date, on turned legs. It is more unusual for a satinwood Pembroke table to be raised on moulded tapering legs.
Interestingly, Thomas Sheraton (1751-1806) mentions the Pembroke table as follows: “a type of breakfast table from the name of the lady who first gave orders for one of them”, possibly referring to the Countess of Pembroke, of Wilton House, Salisbury, (1737-1831).
