English Regency Double-Sided Mahogany Library Table of Large Scale, circa 1830
-
Description
A circa 1830 English regency George IV / William IV period solid mahogany double-sided library or writing table of large scale and rectangular form, the possibly original black leather top inset above long aprons either side with banks of three locking drawers with original key and turned knobs raised on boldly turned and reeded legs with original brass casters.
Typically unsigned, this table is attributed to famed cabinet-makers Gillows of London and Lancaster who produced tables of this design with slight variations and in various sizes. The double-sided form of this table is commonly, but incorrectly, referred to as a "partners desk" due to its binary form, however by definition a partners desk is of double pedestal design. In addition to its original purpose, it could be chicly used as an unconventional dining table; clearance from floor to bottom edge is 24.25". - More Information
