Very Fine Quality Regency Centre Table Made of Macassar Ebony

19th century
Description

A very fine quality Regency centre table made of an exceptionally good cut of Macassar ebony which has been applied with absolute symmetry and precision. This timber is so rare that it is almost extinct, it comes from Celebes island in the East Indies and, ironically, despite growing on an island, it is no good for building a raft because it is so dense that it does not float on water. It is also so dense that it blunts woodworking tools, which makes the quality of this table even more remarkable. The proportions of this table are perfect, the carving is crisp, the construction is first rate and the structure is all of the finest mahogany. This table must have been a very important commission by one of the best furniture makers for a very fine house indeed.

This Regency centre table is a grand example of period furniture, constructed from dark brown Macassar ebony applied with absolute symmetry and precision over a fine mahogany structure. The circular top displays rich figuring throughout and is finished with a carved gadrooned edge along its heavy border. A stout central pedestal supports the top, descending to a triform plinth base with sharply carved paw feet resting on the ground. Measuring 112 cm in width, the table provides ample surface area for display purposes in principal reception rooms, grand hallways, or central living spaces. In a modern interior, it functions effectively as a standalone statement piece in a large entrance hall, or serves as a striking centre table in a spacious drawing room or library, offering both historical character and practical utility.

FAQs

A Regency centre table is a freestanding, multi-purpose table produced during the early 19th century in Britain, designed to sit in the middle of a hall, drawing room, or library as a visual focal point.

Cabinetmakers during the Regency period frequently utilised rich exotic veneers such as Macassar ebony, rosewood, and mahogany, often paired with solid carved wood bases and brass fittings.

Authentic pieces feature characteristic period details such as hand-carved paw feet, gadrooned borders, heavy triform plinth bases, and book-matched natural figure veneers.

Position the table centrally in a spacious entrance hall or living room, anchored by an urn, oversized floral arrangement, or curated selection of books.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish sparingly along the grain to preserve the timber while avoiding direct heat and sunlight.
