Object Description
Early 19th century Regency mahogany antique breakfast table. This antique dining table is a very fine example of the period having a elegant four splay base with good quality brass caps and casters, the mahogany is a bookmatched quarter cut top with symmetrical grain and with satin wood cross banding around the top. The timber is of such fine quality that even the underside of the top has the same wonderful grain pattern as the top. At the moment the colour has faded to a desirable golden colour and this can be preserved by waxing or totally repolished to a darker colour as required. The original colour can be seen in the photographs of the reverse. The top can be brought back to the original colour, or various degrees of fading can be preserved as part of the conservation process. Restoration can be carried out in our own workshops to make sure that the work is carried out to the highest standard. A square breakfast table will accommodate more diners that a round one of the same width and also has the advantage of seating those opposite more closely than a round table with a similar seating capacity.
