A Very Good Quality And Extremely Large Regency Period, Early 19th Century Mahogany Partners Writing Table, Having Wonderful Replacement Gilt Tooled Leather Inset To Crossbanded Top, Over Three Frieze Drawers To Each Side, Flanked By Two False Drawers To Each End, With Replacement Brass Ring Drop Handles, Raised On Elegant Bold Turned And Tapering Legs.

This really is an exceptionally attractive and very imposing Regency period mahogany partners writing table, which is particularly unusual and desirable on account of its extremely large proportions. At over six feet wide and four feet deep, tables of this type and period are very rarely encountered in such generous sizes, especially retaining such an elegant and relatively simple design.

The table benefits from six useful drawers, three to each side, allowing two people to work comfortably opposite one another if required. An especially attractive and rather unusual feature is the inclusion of two false drawers to each end, which gives the table a wonderfully balanced appearance from all four sides and makes it particularly suitable for standing centrally within a room.

The replacement green leather writing surface is of superb quality, the highest grade of leather and finished with beautiful traditional gilt tooling. The intricate decorative borders and panelled design are extremely attractive and complement the rich mahogany colour and surface so well.

Despite its substantial size, the table retains a great deal of elegance thanks to the relatively shallow frieze and bold, yet nicely proportioned, turned and tapering legs. It would make a magnificent centrepiece for a large study, library or home office, whether in a traditional period property or a more contemporary interior.

Overall the condition is very good, with lovely colour and surface, together with the usual old marks, scuffs and minor imperfections associated with age and use, all blending in nicely. There is a slight dip to the centre of the table, but this does not detract at all from its overall appearance or practicality.

As with all items we offer for sale, this table has been carefully inspected and attended to in our workshops by our skilled traditional antique furniture restorers, before receiving an appropriate natural wax polish, ensuring it is ready for immediate placement within the home or office.
