Exceptional Regency Burr Satinwood Sofa Table with Drop Leaves c.1820

A fine and elegant Regency burr satinwood sofa table, dating from the early 19th century, showcasing the superb craftsmanship and restrained sophistication synonymous with the Regency period.

The table features two frieze drawers to one side with corresponding dummy drawers to the reverse, all retaining attractive turned brass knobs. Supported on elegant end supports united by a shaped stretcher, the table stands on gracefully swept sabre legs terminating in highly distinctive brass castors that George Oakley, one of the most celebrated cabinet makers of the Regency era often used.
