Antique Regency Figured Mahogany 6 Seater Circular Tilt-Top Dining Centre Table
Description
An antique Regency figured mahogany circular tilt-top dining and centre table with a striking segmented top, unusual pedestal base and seating for six.
The circular top is beautifully veneered in radiating sections of richly figured mahogany, creating a dramatic sunburst effect. It is finished with a moulded edge and deep frieze, while the practical tilt-top mechanism allows the top to be raised vertically when not in use.
The table is supported by a substantial shaped pedestal above a gadrooned collar and unusual concave-sided triform platform base. Three bold scrolling legs extend from the platform, each terminating in a rounded scroll foot fitted with a brass castor.
The small gilt metal decorations applied to the scrolling sections are brass flowerhead paterae, also described as floral rosettes. These decorative mounts are typical of the Regency taste for restrained classical ornament.
A handsome and versatile antique table suitable for use as a six-seater dining table, breakfast table or impressive centre table.
