19th Century English Regency Rosewood Library Table

19th century
Description

A 19th Century Regency Rosewood Library Table with Ivory Inlay.

This beautiful table would have been the height of luxury in the regency period when it was made. Supported on two end supports of hourglass shape, there are turned ivory paterae and inlaid ivory used throughout, including on the scrolls of the feet. The turned central stretcher, the frieze, the drawer fronts and top of the piece are inlaid with ivory in the form of geometric decoration. The corners have fleur de lys designs and it also has a gilt brass moulding applied around the bottom of the frieze.

The rosewood is of the highest quality and of outstanding colour. A table of this quality would have been beyond the reach of all but the wealthiest of clients at the time that it was made. No expense has been spared in its design, construction and ornamentation.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating in early 19th-century Britain, a Regency library table is characterised by classical proportions, high-quality timber such as rosewood or mahogany, fine brass inlays, and trestle or pedestal end supports designed for central room placement.

Craftsmen typically utilised dense exotic hardwoods such as rosewood and mahogany, accenting them with fine brass stringing, brass marquetry, turned wooden stretchers, and brass castors.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints inside the frieze drawers, original brass castors, natural timber oxidisation, and hand-cut brass or mother-of-pearl inlays rather than modern machine-stamped decoration.

A Regency library table functions effectively as a freestanding writing desk, a hall table, or positioned behind a sofa, balancing rich dark timber against contemporary lighting and neutral interior palettes.

Dust the wood surface regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply high-grade beeswax polish along the grain twice yearly, and position the table away from direct radiators or harsh sunlight to prevent veneer lifting.
