Regency Mahogany Sofa Table (England, circa 1825)
An Extremely Good Quality Regency Period, 19th Century, Mahogany Sofa Table Of Generous Proportions, Having Superbly Figured Rectangular Two Flap Top With Attractive Banded Decoration, Over Two Drawers To Front Opposed By Two False Drawers To Reverse With Replacement Brass Knobs, Raised On Elegant Brass Lyre End Supports Terminating With Elegant Sabre Legs And Original Brass Paw Castors.
Sofa Tables were relatively common throughout the 18th and 19th centuries and as the name suggests they were originally designed to sit behind a sofa, although a common misconception is that they were meant to butt right up against the sofa itself.
Actually they were normally designed to sit a few feet away from the sofa, hence the false drawers on reverse. That said they also look quite happy pushed right up against the back of a sofa and are such useful, versatile items of furniture.
This is a particularly nice Regency sofa table, constructed with good rich, well figured mahogany timbers and it has the usual two drawers to front, two false drawers to reverse and two folding flap design, which allows for great versatility in terms of how much surface area one wishes to utilise. It is also has slightly more presence than most due to being a little wider.
