Large Regency Period Four Pedestal Antique Dining Table

Object Description

A large antique dining table standing on four pedestals each with four splay base. This table is a very fine example from one of the best periods of British cabinet making. It has a really fine run of timber with excellent grain pattern. The bases are a good strong construction but designed with delicacy of line which belies their true weight. The turned vase shape column is pleasing to the eye and the turning is sharp. The four splay legs on each pedestal are lovely and long to provide visual as well as actual stability. There are built in lopers so that only one member of staff is needed to install or remove the leaves. The tops can tilt on the bases or can be removed entirely so that the table can be easily moved from room to room or outdoors as necessary. This is a very fine looking and versitle dining table which is very good value for a table of this period size and quality.

Object Condition

This table can be repolished before shipping if required. This will remove most of the marks on the top and legs. The table is in good order structurally with some undulation to the top because of the very dense grained mahogany used. This sort of flame mahogany is very hard to find in sheets this size and so there are a few knots in the top which while unusual for mahogany is more common when this cut of mahogany is used.
