This early nineteenth-century Regency period tea table is constructed from rosewood and brass in a dark brown tone. The piece takes the form of a fold-over occasional table featuring a D-shaped top with brass stringing and a polished finish. The frieze and corners display a brass inlaid 'fleur-de-lys' style design alongside a central panel of intricate cut-brass decoration. The structure rests upon a concave quadripartite pedestal with a brass-mounted shaped pillar support and four hipped splayed legs terminating in brass box-toe castors. Minor blemishes appear on the polish of the top, and the mellow patina shows signs of age. The dimensions measure 73.6601 cm high, 91.4402 cm wide, and 45.7201 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this occasional table functions effectively in an empty corner or a living space as a decorative surface or fold-over display table. The free-standing form allows placement away from walls when opened to reveal the concealed compartment panelled interior. The compact proportions suit a hallway, sitting room, or study, providing a functional surface that complements traditional or classic interior settings without dominating the floor plan.

FAQs

Regency furniture, dating from roughly 1811 to 1830, is characterised by neoclassical influences, symmetry, and exotic timber veneers such as rosewood and mahogany. Designs frequently feature brass inlay, metal mounts, turned pedestals, and splayed legs inspired by ancient Greek and Roman forms.

Cabinetmakers during the Regency era favoured dark, highly figured woods like Brazilian rosewood and Cuban mahogany. Decorative details were typically achieved through brass stringing, cut brass foliage inlays, and cast brass capped toes or castors.

Authentic Regency brass inlay is flush with the wood surface, cut precisely, and often fixed into hand-cut grooves in the veneer. Natural oxidisation and slight shrinkage of the surrounding timber over time often create subtle texture variations that distinguish genuine pieces from modern reproductions.

When closed, a fold-over tea table functions as a compact console table against a wall or behind a sofa. Opening the swivel top expands the surface area, making it suitable for serving tea or displaying decorative objects in formal dining rooms and living spaces.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply high-quality beeswax sparingly to nourish the timber. Avoid positioning the table in direct sunlight or near central heating radiators to prevent veneer lifting and timber movement around the brass inlay.
