This pair of nineteenth century side tables follows a Regency style reminiscent of Gillows. Each piece comprises a rectangular top formed from four birds-eye maple panels set within dark ebony crossbanding and intricate multi-timber inlays, paired with ebonised turned legs, low stretchers, and fluted bracket feet. The warm honey-brown tones of the veneer contrast against the solid black finish of the turned supports. Measuring 76 cm in height, 47 cm in width, and 30 cm in depth, these slender tables suit placement beside a sofa, in a sitting room corner, or within a library. The tables function practically as display surfaces or lamp tables in a living space. Their compact footprint allows them to fit efficiently into narrower spaces, such as hallways or landings, while providing adequate top surface area for daily items. The combination of figured timber and dark ebonised framing brings a refined traditional aesthetic to interior schemes. Both pieces stand ready for domestic integration without requiring restoration work.

FAQs

Furniture designed in the style of Gillows is characterised by fine timber selection, precise cabinet making, and restrained classical ornamentation typical of the late Georgian, Regency, and early Victorian periods.

These pieces utilise birds-eye maple veneer for decorative panel inserts, bounded by ebony stringing or banding, supported on solid ebonised hardwood legs and stretchers.

Authentic Regency tables feature slender turned or reeded legs, delicate scale, high-contrast wood veneers, hand-cut joinery, and original low stretchers.

A pair of slender side tables can be placed flanking a sofa, used as bedside tables, or positioned individually in narrow alcoves to add architectural contrast.

Clean surfaces using a dry microfibre cloth, apply a thin coat of natural beeswax along the grain periodically, and keep the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent veneer lifting.
