This is a very elegant table, which is incredibly useful, and boasts great elegance and sophistication.

The inlaid decoration is meticulously laid out, somehow being present on such large parts of the table without being too much and taking over. The timbers used in the construction are the best quality and highest grade which would have been available at the time and still retain a good colour as well as their great figuring to this day.

In terms of size it is very small. Perfect for just about any space one wishes and would add to any room it is placed in. Somewhow despite being so small it also retains great strength and sturdiness and there is even a drawer which can be used of course.

Every last detail is carefully thought out and extremely well executed by some incredibly skilled craftsman and because of this one would expect it to have probably been made in one of the very best cabinet making workshops of the time, most likely Edwards & Roberts.

The London firm of Edwards & Roberts were one of the most well known London furniture makers from 1845-1899. Taking influence from the likes of Chippendale, Sheraton and Hepplewhite, the company gained a good reputation for elegance and quality.

As with all items which we offer for sale this 19th century table has been attended to in our workshops, by our highly skilled, trained antique furniture restorers and received a traditional wax polish finish to ensure that it is absolutely ready to be placed straight into a home, or office environment.
