The table is elegantly supported by a concave-sided trefoil platform, raised on scroll-carved claw feet with concealed castors. Made in England circa 1830, it exemplifies fine craftsmanship. This rare William IV period Goncalo Alves centre or dining table showcases a circular tilt-top top with outstanding contrasting grain above a shallow frieze. It stands on a tapered, flat-faceted column that terminates in a trefoil base, complete with paw feet and castors. The figured rosewood exhibits a rich, warm patina, enhancing its visual appeal. This table is not only a testament to exceptional craftsmanship but also a striking example of classic design, making it an ideal piece for any refined hallway or interior. See less
