This Regency centre table, attributed to Gillows of Lancaster and made around 1820, takes the form of a circular freestanding piece designed for a principal room. The construction uses warm brown goncalo alves timber with a polished finish, showing a distinctive beaded moulding along the rim and a carved gadrooned pedestal. It stands on a triform base supported by scroll feet. Measuring 74 cm high, 134 cm wide, and 134 cm deep, it provides a generous surface for display or central placement in a hallway, library, or drawing room. The piece serves practically as a central display table for holding decorative objects such as a flower vase or as an accessory table in a large reception room. Interior layouts suit positioning it in the middle of a spacious room where all sides remain visible to appreciate the timber grain and carved details. The structure rests on original castors, allowing straightforward repositioning within a domestic interior layout.

FAQs

Regency centre tables, popularised in early 19th-century Britain, are characterised by circular or polygonal tops supported by a central carved pedestal and a triform or quadreform base. They frequently feature detailed wood veneers, bead moulding, gadrooning, and brass castors, intended to sit in the middle of a room or foyer.

Cabinetmakers during the Regency period primarily utilised high-grade timbers such as West Indian mahogany, rosewood, and zebrawood. Bases often incorporated carved timber pedestals with concealed castors made of brass or cast iron.

Authentic Regency pieces feature hand-carved decorative motifs, hand-planed timber underside surfaces, and brass tilt-top snap-latch mechanisms. Look for period-correct construction techniques, such as dovetail joints on internal drawer linings or authentic brass cup castors on the feet.

A Regency centre table functions as a focal point in a spacious entrance hall or as a compact dining table in open-plan spaces. Pairing dark mahogany or rosewood with contemporary lighting or minimalist ceramics creates a balanced visual contrast.

Maintain the surface by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying high-grade beeswax once or twice a year along the grain. Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood shrinkage, veneer lifting, or uneven fading.
