A George III Centre Table
A fine and rare ebonised Regency centre table.
The rectangular top profusely decorated with flowers, fruit and foliage on a black ground, ornamented by a repeating Greek key bronze moulding.
A full length folio compartment sits behind a single frieze panel, original lock and key. Raised on a scrolled, fluted and tapering X-frame terminating in gadrooned collars, joined by a turned central stretcher with diamond lozenge. Original unpolished brass cup castors.
The top is alive with flowers, acorns, lemons, strawberries, apples, pears, figs and grapes, bordered by a green band decorated with intertwining ivy.
English, circa 1810.
An exceptional and probably unique table, a similar example of this base is seen in the Admiral's Room at Castle Howard.
