Gillows Regency Mahogany Draw-leaf Dining Table

19th century
Description

No10962 An early 19th-century Gillows of Lancaster mahogany rectangular table with two draw leaves fitted with hand scoops . This is fitted with one central drawer to the frieze and five dummy drawers which allow for the draw leaf mechanisms. All the drawers have turned wooden pulls. The whole is raised on four reeded, turned, tapered legs terminating in brass cups and castors stamped Cope and Collinson Patent.

Circa 1825 Price :£4,250-00p.

Table Open: 45.5”, 115 cms x 63.5”, 161 cms

Table closed 45.5”. 115 cms x 34”, 86 cms.

Height: 29.25”, 74 cms.

Lit: Susan Stuart “Gillows of Lancaster and London 1730-1840” pl. 242 shows a table dating from 1825 with an identical leg and numerous other examples of pieces with this exact leg.

Note: The design for a "Universal Table" appears in Thomas Sheraton's s "The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Drawing-Book" published in 1793. He went on to describe it thus: "The use of this piece is to answer the purpose of both a breakfast and dining-table. When both the leaves are slipped under the bed, it will then serve as a breakfast-table; when one leaf is out, as in this view, it will accomodate five persons as a dining-table; and if both are out, it will admit of eight, being near seven feet long and three feet six inches in width." In the following technical description he goes on to talk about the pins under the central leaf as well as the material to stop the flaps rubbing and "At the under side of the flaps must be goged out finger holes to draw them out by."

FAQs

A Regency draw-leaf dining table dates from the early 19th century and incorporates pull-out leaves beneath the central tabletop, allowing the table surface to expand. These tables typically feature classical proportions, fine-grained mahogany, and turned or reeded legs.

19th-century extending dining tables were predominantly constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, prized for their stability and dark grain. Secondary timbers like pine or oak were often used for internal extension mechanisms, complemented by solid brass castors.

Authentic Regency furniture from makers such as Gillows of Lancaster is identified by high-grade timber, precise cabinetmaking, stamp marks on drawer edges or underframes, and signature design features like finely reeded legs and quality brass fittings.

A Regency dining table can be integrated into contemporary spaces by pairing it with streamlined modern dining chairs or minimalist lighting fixtures. The dark mahogany timber creates visual contrast against modern painted walls or natural stone flooring.

Antique mahogany surfaces should be dusted regularly with a soft dry cloth and treated periodically with high-quality beeswax polish. Spillages should be wiped immediately, and heat or moisture sources should be kept away from the timber to prevent damage to the polish.
