The patina/veneers on this table are simply stunning.

It is reminiscent of tigerwood but is in fact, rosewood.

British Regency, circa 1810-1820. It is inlaid with a brass ring on the top.

It has a 57 inch diameter and 28.5 inches tall (when flat/closed) and is beautifully proportioned. The tilt mechanism works perfectly. It sits on a cylindrical center column and tripod base with beautifully turned feet on original brass castors. It has a satin finish and not high gloss or highly polished making it even more tactile.

When open it is 57 inches tall, 47 inches wide and 32 inches deep.

We bought this piece from a reputable dealer in Ireland. When we bought it, we noticed that the table top had been re-finished by someone at some stage in it’s life and it didn’t reflect the beautiful veneers and finish of the base. The top had been covered in a red/orange stain or paint that looked ‘ghastly’. So we decided to ‘strip’ off the hideous finish to see what lay beneath. When we removed the layers of varnish and paint/stain we were AMAZED to discover the original finish !!

The table you now see is the ‘ORIGINAL’ finish and veneer and is breathtakingly beautiful !

So, in a nutshell, we are obliged to reveal and inform buyers that this table top has been ‘refinished’ BUT in reality it has only been restored to it’s ORIGINAL condition, with STUNNING results !

You will not find another one like it !!!
We have seen many, many tables like this over the years but this one is TRULY UNIQUE !! less
