19th Century Regency Mahogany Sofa Table

About the Item

A Good Quality, Early 19th Century, Regency Period Mahogany Sofa Table, Having Well Figured Rectangular Drop Flap Top With Ebonised Inlay Decoration, Over Two Frieze Drawers Opposed By Two False Drawers To Reverse, With Replacement Brass Handles, Raised On Elegant Tablet End Supports With Umbrella Splayed Legs And Original Brass Castors. Sofa Tables were relatively common throughout the 18th and 19th centuries and as the name suggests they were originally designed to sit behind a sofa, although a common misconception is that they were meant to butt right up against the sofa itself. Actually they were normally designed to sit a few feet away from the sofa, hence the false drawers on reverse. That said they also look quite happy pushed right up against the back of a sofa and are such useful, versatile items of furniture. This example is of relatively typical design, constructed with good solid mahogany timbers and has the usual two drawers to front, two false drawers to reverse and two folding flap design, which allows for great versatility in terms of how much surface area one wished to utilise. As with all of our items this Mahogany Sofa Table has been attended to in the traditional manner at our workshops before being offered for sale, by our highly trained and skilled antique furniture restorers including a light clean and natural wax polish to ensure that it is in retail condition and ready to be placed immediately into the home or workplace. Circa 1810. Height 28in. Width 35in (flaps down). Width 60in (flaps up). Depth 26in.

Late Regency 19th Century Gillows Oak Wine Table
By Gillows of Lancaster & London
Located in Bedfordshire, GB
A very good quality 19th century regency period oak wine table, or lamp table, attributed to gillows of lancaster, having shaped tray top with gadrooned, carved, decoration over moulded reverse tapering column with stylised lotus baluster and elegant swept tripod legs with foliate carved decoration. "Attributed To Gillows." This fine quality, charming little table follows a widely recognised design pattern which features in the Gillows Estimate Sketch Books for 16 July 1822, which refer to a "double round cornered top" and then appear again several times throughout the 1820's and 1830's. The designs are often referred to as "Flower Stands", or "Flower Tables" and there are various different itinerations to be found throuout the Regency and William IV periods. Constructed from charming, warm, rich oak veneers this little table is a great example. The carving is crisp and well executed and it retains a good colour and patina. It also remains in excellent condition and has clearly been well loved and well looked after throughout its history. The dimensions are great. Big enough to be practical and functional, but small enough to go just about anywhere around the home and serve a purpose as an antique lamp table, antique bedside table, antique wine table antique...
