Irish Early 19th Century Regency Mahogany Canterbury

A good example of an early 19th century Irish Regency period Canterbury attributed to the acclaimed Dublin cabinetmakers Gillingtons. The three division top section with spiral turned columns to each corner and distinctive finials, the divider bars supported by fine ring turned baluster shaped spindles, with a single finely dovetailed cockbeaded drawer to the base and raised on ring turned legs with original brass castors. Circa 1820.

In very good antique condition, structurally sound, and with a beautiful patina this is a useful piece of furniture for storing magazines and papers and since the divider rails are straight also offers a stable surface for a small tray.

The overall dimensions approximately

Width - 18in (46cm)

Depth - 12in (30.5cm)

Height - 22.5in (57cm)

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.
