Lacewood Centre Table 1795

19th century
Description

A fine Sheraton Period lacewood or Botany Bay oak centre table attributed to Gillows. Although not stamped the attribution is supported by the table appearing in Gillows 1795 pattern book.

Lacewood is a rare timber originating from Australia, hence the secondary name Botany Bay oak. As convicts were shipped to Australia the cargo on return would be exotic timber and other rare commodities.

This table has wonderful hand cut veneers applied to a mahogany carcass, demonstrating the quality of the piece. It features and octagonal central column, detailed with box wood, to four outplayed legs again strung with box wood. The table has a tilt top and the original brass catch.

The table is in good condition and measures 48inches in dis.

This George III centre table dates from 1800 and is in the Sheraton style, constructed from a mahogany carcass with hand-cut lacewood or Botany Bay oak veneers in a warm brown colour. The circular tilt-top top rests on an octagonal central pedestal column detailed with boxwood line inlay, supported by four outplayed, splayed quad legs that are also strung with boxwood. The legs terminate in original brass castors and the piece retains its original brass catch. The table measures 122 cm high, 122 cm wide, and 73 cm deep. It serves as a practical and elegant centre table for a traditional living room or reception area, providing a stable surface for decorative items or everyday use.

FAQs

Designed primarily during the 18th and 19th centuries, a centre table was positioned in the middle of a room, hall, or salon to serve as a focal point for social gatherings and decorative displays.

Craftsmen utilised dense hardwoods such as mahogany and exotic veneers like lacewood, frequently incorporating decorative line inlay, hand-cut joinery, and splayed legs fitted with brass box castors.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut brass castors, natural timber oxidisation on the underside, hand-turned or faceted pedestal columns, and original iron tilt-top latch mechanisms.

Place the table in a central entrance hall as a primary feature piece, or position it in an open-plan living space paired with modern minimalist seating to create visual contrast.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply a clear beeswax polish once a year, and keep the piece away from direct sunlight and heat radiators to prevent veneer movement.
