This Regency breakfast and centre table dates from the William IV period, circa 1830-1845. Constructed from rosewood with a warm brown colour, the circular top displays a symmetrical book-matched veneer showing rich grain patterns, supported by a central hexagonal baluster column and a concave-sided triform base that ends in carved and polished lion paw feet with original brass castors. The top tilts to an upright position using a brass catch underneath and sturdy brass attachment screws. The piece measures 120 cm wide and 120 cm deep, providing a generous surface area for dining or display. In a modern interior, this versatile table functions effectively as a central freestanding statement piece in a formal living room, hallway or library. When tilted upright, it serves as a space-saving option that can be positioned flush against a wall or in a corner while displaying the decorative timber top. The combination of classic pedestal design and distinctive wood figuring suits traditional and transitional interior schemes.

FAQs

Produced between 1830 and 1837, William IV furniture represents a transition from the classical restraint of the Regency era to the heavier ornamentation of early Victorian design. Common features include bold proportions, rich timbers like rosewood and mahogany, and architectural carvings such as paw or claw feet.

Tilt-top tables utilise a block mechanism mounted to a central pedestal column, secured with a brass catch or bolt beneath the table surface. This mechanism allows the circular top to swivel 90 degrees vertically, permitting the table to be stored flat against a wall when not in use.

Authentic period pieces exhibit distinctive dark, contrasting grain lines characteristic of natural rosewood veneer, along with hand-carved solid timber accents. Look for period-accurate joinery underneath, original brass tilt latches, and natural wear patterns consistent with age on the base and feet.

A centre table works effectively as a focal point in a grand foyer or entry hall, or as a compact round dining table in a breakfast nook. Pairing the historic woodwork with contemporary seating creates a balanced, curated aesthetic.

Position the piece away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources to prevent the wood veneer from drying or bleaching. Clean regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a quality natural beeswax polish periodically to preserve the finish.
