Early C19th Regency Mahogany Dining Table in the Manner of Gillows of Lancaster.

Early C19th Regency mahogany dining table in the manner of Gillows of Lancaster.

Highly practical and adaptable drop-leaf centre dining table of 3 sections raised upon 12 finely-turned and shaped legs. The twin D-ends raised upon original brass socket castors. The drop-leaf centre section with double gate-action to each leaf which provides a stable platform when open to secure to the D-ends with the original brass sockets and forks.

Fine quality manufacture throughout with 'cock-beaded' rule joints between all the elements to achieve an excellent fit when clipped together.

The craftsmanship, design and grade of timber giving a strong attribution to the esteemed workshops of Gillows of Lancaster & London , although not signed.

A good practical dining table with a completely flat top when fully extended. Could be used in a variety of forms to suit different occasions and functions. Adapting as 2 side tables and a drop-leaf supper table when not required in full form.

Comfortable 10-seater dining table when fully-extended. The elegantly turned legs being inset to the frame to aid comfort of seating and the shallow frieze offering good leg-room.

All original throughout . Minor variations to colour through exposure to sun-light , the slightly darker drop-leaves having been less used , however it has the original surface and has achieved a pleasing lightly-faded mellow patination .

Some minor marks and historic fine scratches to the polish and surface commensurate with age and use , but crucially retaining its original 'skin' and polished surface.
