Main description
Regency period English burr oak centre table.
The circular top retains a wonderful colour and patina. The butterfly book-matched veneer has not been repolished and the colour is a mellow golden burr.
The shallow frieze is veneered with a vertical burr oak and adorned with a reeded moulding.
The tilt top table sits on the original saddle above a burr oak veneered and tapered pedestal surmounted on a tightly carved moulding.
The out swept pedestal stands on a well figured burr oak triform plinth base, raised on integrated ‘C’ scrolled and reeded feet that terminate on the original gilt brass castors.

What is the Regency Period?
The Regency period (1811-1820) formed the closing years of the Georgian era and was defined by refined classical design inspired by ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt. Furniture from the period often features bold veneers, clean architectural lines and restrained decorative details in brass, ebony and gilt bronze.
