An Exceptional Quality 19th Century Regency Period Kingwood Wine Table, Or Occasional Lamp Table, Having Superbly Figured Detachable Square Top, With Crossbanded Decoration, Raised On Incredibly Elegant Carved Spiral Twist Central Column, Terminating On Umbrella Tripod Legs With Pointed Spade Feet.

Kingwood is and was a much sought after and decorative wood veneer which only grows in relatively small trees, resulting in relatively narrow veneers being available, therefore it is more often seen in small decorative items and very small items of furniture. Kingwood can sometimes be referred to as princes wood, or purple wood and originates from South America. It is widely regarded to have been used only by the best cabinet making workshops as in 18th and 19th century England it would have been incredibly expensive to purchase.

This lovely little wine table has utilised its kingwood veneers extremely well. They are highly figured and retain a lovely rich colour and patina. The overall quality of construction, as one would expect, is quite exceptional and clearly a lot of thought and effort has gone into the design and execution during the making of this table.

In terms of fucntionality and places one could use it then the possibilities are endless. With a practical square top which is the perfect size it would suit a whole host of spaces around the home and also it is worth noting that the table is relatively sturdy.

As with all items which we offer for sale this lovely regency occasional table has been inspected and attended to in our workshops by our highly skilled and trained antique furniture restorers, who have ensured it is in peak condition whilst giving it a natural wax polish before placing it on sale, ensuring that it is ready for immediate placement.
