Antique Regency Freestanding Mahogany Drop Leaf Sofa Table with Brass Inlay
Description
An antique Regency mahogany drop leaf sofa table of excellent quality, boasting a beautifully figured mahogany top with fine brass inlay, attractive crossbanded borders, two drop leaves and a wonderful rich colour and patina.
The front is fitted with two drawers retaining their decorative brass handles, with corresponding dummy drawer fronts to the reverse, giving the table an attractive and balanced appearance from both sides.
It stands on elegant reeded swept supports with decorative carved detailing, terminating in magnificent brass lion's paw feet with castors. The supports are united by a turned central stretcher, adding both strength and elegance to the design.
A particularly handsome and versatile example of Regency furniture, ideal for use as an antique sofa table, living room occasional table, side table or decorative hallway table. The drop leaves provide additional surface space when required, while the beautifully finished reverse makes it equally suitable for freestanding use behind a sofa or in the centre of a room.
The wonderful figuring of the mahogany, fine brass inlay, quality craftsmanship and distinctive brass paw feet make this a very desirable example of Regency furniture that would complement both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Condition Report
Very good antique condition with minor age-related wear consistent with age and use. The mahogany has a beautiful polished finish, displaying a rich colour and attractive grain throughout. The brass inlay, handles and decorative paw feet are in lovely condition. A handsome, well-presented example retaining its antique character.
