This Regency games and work table follows the manner of Gillows, made in dark brown rosewood with brass hardware. The piece exhibits a folding rectangular top, a single frieze drawer with a keyhole, and reeded tapering legs with ring turnings and brass castors. Visible details include brass hinges on the top corner, a small circular keyhole escutcheon on the drawer front, and grain patterns running vertically on the frieze and upper leg blocks. Measuring 75 cm high, 33.5 cm wide, and 38 cm deep, this compact occasional table fits well at the end of a sofa in a living room, study, or hallway to hold small decorative items or provide a surface next to seating.

FAQs

During the British Regency period (18111820), games and work tables were compact, versatile pieces designed for living spaces, often featuring folding tops, drawers, and fine timbers such as rosewood or mahogany.

Regency artisans utilised rich woods like Brazilian rosewood, incorporating hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, fine reeded leg turning, and solid brass fittings such as hinges and castors.

Authentic pieces feature natural surface patina, hand-cut joinery inside drawer linings, original brass hardware, and slight wood shrinkage consistent with age.

A compact Regency table functions as an occasional side table beside a sofa, a hallway accent, or a bedside surface, contrasting dark timber grain with contemporary fabrics.

Dust regularly with a dry microfiber cloth and apply high-grade beeswax sparingly along the wood grain, ensuring the piece remains away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber warping.
