This Regency period occasional games table employs ebonised wood finished with black and gold penwork, ink and lacquer. The square top displays a chess board at the centre surrounded by a wide elaborate foliate border, raised above a tapering spiral column, a triform block, and scrolled legs terminating in lion paw feet. The table stands 71 cm high, 48 cm wide and 47 cm deep. Suitable for an empty corner in a living room, study or bedroom, this piece serves as a decorative display surface or a small gaming table for two. The underside bears an indistinct inscription mentioning Mr Henry Briggs of St Peter’s Hill Leeds.

FAQs

Penwork was a decorative technique popular during the Regency period from 1800 to 1830, involving fine india ink drawings executed on pale timber or ebonised grounds, depicting classical, botanical, or oriental motifs under a clear protective varnish.

These tables typically feature solid timber foundations, such as birch or pine, finished with ebonised lacquering or japanware, with fine ink detail applied by hand and sealed under coats of clear varnish.

Original pieces exhibit fine age craquelure across the protective varnish, subtle hand-drawn variations in the ink lines, and traditional joinery including hand-cut dovetails and period-correct tripod support mechanisms.

Position the table as an accent piece in a bay window or empty corner, paired with armchairs to highlight its detailed surface pattern while providing a functional spot for board games.

Dust gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical polishes, solvent cleaners, or direct sunlight, which can cause the ink to fade and the protective varnish to degrade.
