Object Description
This is a very good antique library table dating from the William IV Period of the 19th century. It has all the things one could wish for in a library table; elegant end supports, fine carving, good golden brown rosewoood, mahogany drawer linings, precision dove tails and Brahma locks. There is a high cross rail to give strength without getting in the way of knees and there are two drawers hidden in the shallow frieze. This table is freestanding so it looks the same all round, aside from the escutcheons which appear only on one side. This library table is narrow front to back so would be very useful as a sofa table or side table. This is a tremendous piece of furniture which has to be seen to be appreciated.
