MotifsBamboo-turned legs, Gallery rim top, End drawer, Wooden knobs

This Regency period West Indian occasional table is constructed from warm brown satinwood and hardwood, presenting a rectangular form with a raised gallery rim top. Below the top sits a single end drawer fitted with two small turned wooden knobs, while the base is supported by slender bamboo-turned legs that taper towards the floor. Visible details include the fine wood grain running lengthwise across the top surface, the dark rings accentuating the bamboo turning on the legs, and the flush-fitting drawer front set into the apron. Measuring 74 cm in height, the compact proportions make it well-suited for placement at the end of a sofa or beside an armchair in a living room, hallway or study. Designed in the Regency style, the table offers a practical surface for holding a small lamp, book or decorative item while adding period character to an interior scheme. The warm timber tones integrate naturally into traditional and eclectic settings alike, serving as a functional accent piece for everyday domestic use. Standing upright on four tapering legs, the freestanding construction allows for easy placement in various corners of a home where surface space is limited.

FAQs

A Regency West Indian occasional table is a piece of furniture crafted during the early 19th century in the West Indies, combining European Regency style aesthetics with indigenous timbers and local craftsmanship.

Cabinetmakers in the West Indies frequently utilised dense local hardwoods such as West Indian mahogany, satinwood, and cedar, prized for their grain pattern and resistance to tropical climates.

Authentic pieces from the Regency era often display classical proportions, faux-bamboo or ring-turned legs, hand-cut dovetail joints in drawers, and original brass or wooden knob handles.

Position the table beside a modern sofa or armchair to serve as a functional drink rest, or place it in a hallway alcove topped with a simple ceramic vase or lamp to contrast historic timber with modern design.

Maintain antique timber by dusting regularly with a soft cloth, applying a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year, and keeping the piece away from direct heat sources or intense sunlight.
