This
superb quality library table is of Gillows standard and may indeed be
attributable to them. Made in the 1840's the table is a combination
of solid walnut for the base and highly figured veneers for the top.
The
top has an antique finish mid-tan leather writing surface with blind
and gilt tooling surrounded by a band of figured walnut cross banded
with kingwood. The table has a thumb moulded edge with rounded corners.
Beneath are two cock beaded drawers of hand made dovetail construction
with mahogany linings and original turned wooden knobs. To the reverse
are two dummy drawers. The rounded corners of the table are decorated
with carvings of flowers.
The
table stands on turned and carved end supports and swept legs with ivy
carved feet and original brass castors.
The
table has a beautiful honey gold patina which has developed with years
of care and is in excellent condition with no evidence of major repairs.
The table has been french polished and a replacement writing surface
fitted. It is a rare table which is of the best quality.
This
table is an excellent match with the Victorian bookcase SN382 in both
the colour of veneers, the age and the style.
