This Regency sofa table dates from the 18th century and is made of rosewood with kingswood crossbanding, finished in a warm brown colour. The piece includes drop leaves on either side, two frieze drawers fitted with original turned wooden knobs, and splayed sabre legs terminating in brass castors with end supports. Additional visible details comprise delicate contrasting stringing inlay around the drawer fronts, a stretcher rail joining the upright supports, and a smooth polished timber top. The table measures 71 cm high, 150 cm wide, and 89 cm deep, providing a practical surface for everyday use. In a modern interior, this versatile table functions well placed at the back of a sofa in a living room or as a writing desk in a study. The drop leaves allow the surface area to adjust according to space requirements, while the drawers offer convenient storage for small items. The classic proportions and warm timber tones suit both traditional and contemporary room schemes, combining functional utility with period character.

FAQs

Introduced in late 18th and early 19th-century Britain, a sofa table was designed to sit directly behind a sofa, featuring a narrow top with drop leaves to extend the surface for reading, writing, or tea service.

These tables typically showcase exotic timber veneers such as rosewood or mahogany, complemented by brass inlay or mounts, hand-cut dovetail drawers, and splayed legs fitted with brass castors.

Authentic period pieces exhibit classical proportions, dark figure in the rosewood grain, original brass hardware, period construction techniques such as oak or pine drawer linings, and natural age-related patina.

Position the table behind a freestanding sofa, in a wide hallway, or along a living room wall, accessorised with table lamps, books, or ceramic vessels to create a functional focal point.

Keep the timber away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent shrinking, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply a high-grade beeswax polish occasionally to preserve the original finish.
