Regency Coromandel Wood Dining Table
Description
An extremely fine quality and rare antique Regency coromandel wood antique breakfast dining table with highly decorative vivid figured veneers throughout. The superb top has coromandel book matched veneers with crown cut angled feather banding in goncala alves wood finished with coromandel wood crossbanding and rounded edge.
The table base has a central rectangular tapering pedestal with ovolo mouldings and an inverted platform base terminating to turned and carved melon fluted feet retaining its original brass castors.
This table would comfortably fit six people around it when dining and it also tilts up to save on space when not in use. It would make a fantastic centre table in both a traditional and contemporary home. When the table is tilted in the upright position it shows two horses (or zebras) heads and bodies created from the book matched figured veneers.
Coromandel wood also know as calamander originates from Sri Lanka and India and very few pieces of furniture were made and exist from this expensive exotic hardwood. A table with this amount of coromandel wood is very rare.
