This superb quality library table is of Gillows standard
and may indeed be attributable to them. Made in the 1840's the table
is a combination of solid walnut for the base and highly figured veneers
for the top.
The top has an antique finish mid-tan leather writing
surface with blind and gilt tooling surrounded by a band of figured
walnut cross banded with kingwood. The table has a thumb moulded edge
with rounded corners. Beneath are two cock beaded drawers of hand
made dovetail construction with mahogany linings and original turned
wooden knobs. To the reverse are two dummy drawers. The rounded corners
of the table are decorated with carvings of flowers.
The table stands on turned and carved end supports and
swept legs with ivy carved feet and original brass castors.
The table has a beautiful honey gold patina which has
developed with years of care and is in excellent condition with no
evidence of major repairs. The table has been french polished and
a replacement writing surface fitted. It is a rare table which is
of the best quality.
This table is an excellent match with the Victorian
bookcase SN382 in both the colour of veneers, the age and the style.
