Direct from England, a rare and highly decorative Jacobean Revival carved oak console hall table of exceptional architectural presence and quality.

The table displays bold tracery carvings on the tall, raised back panel and the curved brackets framing the gong, along with carved beveled edges that define the half-octagon-shaped tabletop. The wide front features Jacobean inspired geometric designs on either side, as well as across the large front drawer with its twin brass pulls.

Four full-length barley twist legs complete the stunning silhouette. The center brass gong and original striker provide a dramatic and unusual feature seldom found on console tables of this scale.

In the late 19th century, such pieces were used as dinner gongs or dramatic hall and entry announcement gongs, most often found in English manor houses. Imagine this stunning antique as a hall or entry console, sofa table, or as a statement accent table in any room

Quality throughout with hand cut dovetailed drawer; well built by craftsmen of the period, circa 1880.

Measurements: 35.25” H x 42” W x 18” D.
