Serpentine shaped moulded marble top, above a matching shaped carved and moulded front skirt, opening to reveal an unexpected narrow drawer.
The stylish lines flowing into acanthus leaf carved knees and over expressed cabriole legs, terminating on a scrolled foot.
The beautifully veneered rear plain rectangular legs, on well shaped moulded feet.
Another one of the pieces I purchased back, that I sold to an old friend over twenty years ago.
The three plank top above a deep moulded ogee-shaped frieze, with stepped narrow drawers with brass drop handles to the front. Resting on slender turned legs, joined by a bold central “H” stretcher.
They didn’t make them this narrow in the 18th century. Much shorter and deeper.
This was made to suit the narrow Victorian hallways.
The bowed single plank, reeded-mould top, above a narrow x-banded skirt,
having a single figured mahogany central drawer, with ebony stringing and later but appropriate circular brass plate,
ring handles, covering where the wooded turned handles originally sat. With faux drawers to each side.
Resting on turned tapered legs.
I’ve enjoyed having this beautiful 18th century English yew-wood side table in my apartment for the past few years.
Being a dealer and having such special pieces, I have the enjoyment of living with, then selling once replacing.
I’ll truly miss this table, however living in an apartment forces one to cull!
The tick two plank top having several knots and a matched sap wood join between planks above a plain fieze with a single moulded drawer to the front retaining the original lock and escutcheon. Resting on square tapered legs.
A rare 18th Century English mahogany Chippendale carved triple tier games table.
This rare example opens to become four tables. First of all a rectangular side table, secondly opening to a mahogany tea table, next to be a baize toped card table and again opening to a backgammon/chess table, then a lifting lid for cards and other playing equipment.
Note: The triple fork hinges to the tops and the exceptional original carving over all. This rare example should be a museum piece.
