This splendid table has a beautifully figured rectangular mahogany top with a finely moulded edge, above a deep frieze enhanced by delicate carved detailing along its lower border.

The most outstanding feature is the remarkable carving to the legs, with magnificent lion masks displaying wonderfully expressive faces, flowing manes and elaborate feathered headdresses. The beautifully executed carving continues down the elegantly tapered legs, each terminating in a boldly carved paw foot.

Freestanding and finished on all sides, this exceptional table is wonderfully versatile and can be positioned as a centre table, side table or hall table. Its refined proportions make it equally suitable for a grand entrance hall, drawing room, library or contemporary interior.

The rich mahogany colour beautifully complements the intricate carving, creating a striking piece of furniture that combines the elegance of the Georgian period with impressive sculptural detail.

A particularly handsome and unusual example of Georgian furniture, offering both decorative appeal and practical versatility.
