Regency Brass Inlaid Sofa Table in Kingwood

19th century
For Sale by Moxhams Antiques
Description

Regency standard-end brass inlaid sofa table in kingwood with fine ormolu mounts and ebony and boxwood inlay; 2 oak-lined drawers with boxwood cockbeading.

Kingwood is often used in small pieces for cross-banding and inlay but it is rare to find a large piece of furniture made almost almost entirely in this timber. I have just been reading up on it in Adam Bowett's new book, Woods in British Furniture-Making 1400-1900. The wood is native to northern South America and the tree is low and slender, producing logs 3-6ft long but only 4-8" in diameter.

This narrow diameter would explain why the top is made up of thin strips of kingwood.

Kingwood is certainly a lovely honey-coloured timber and this table still retains its original colour and patina and is very smart with the brass inlay, but I particularly like its long flaps which give the table its elegant long and shallow proportions.

c. 1825

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Designed during the early 19th century, a Regency sofa table is characteristically long and narrow with short drop leaves at each end, two side-by-side drawers, and twin-pillar or end-support legs linked by a stretcher.

Craftsmen primarily utilised exotic veneers such as kingwood, rosewood, and mahogany, frequently accentuating the grain with brass stringing, cast mounts, and ebony or wood crossbanding.

Authentic pieces typically feature original brass castors, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, period brass hardware, and subtle patination alongside genuine brass wire or sheet marquetry inlay.

Positioned behind a sofa or placed as a console along an entryway wall, the table provides a surface for table lamps and decorative objects while introducing historical contrast to contemporary decor.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply beeswax sparingly to the timber surface, avoiding harsh chemical sprays that could loosen brass inlays or degrade historic finishes.
