' I cannot recommend Mark highly enough - the entire process was smooth, surprisingly fast, the painting was just as described (and more impressive in person), packaging was very secure, and Mark was extremely friendly and helpful. All of this makes me very happy to be a customer again in the future.' Georgian Toilet Mirror. Customer in Australia .. ''Breathtakingly beautiful Mahogany toilet mirror ! Delicately dovetailed drawers are as smooth as silk. The acorn finials are a treat. The mahogany has a marvelous lustre and fine patina consumate with its age.

Description
This is an exceptional and rare piece of Chinese antique furniture. It is a long, low Artist, or Painters Table. The top is made of a single wide plank of dense hardwood, framed on all 4 sides and secured with through tenons. The table is over 2 metres long and would have been used by an artist for for painting wall scrolls. The design offers beautiful clean lines throughout with no distracting embellishments or carvings and it's not difficult to see here the type of Chinese geometrical style influences that Thomas Chippendale would have been so inspired by for his 'Chinese Chippendale' furniture designs. The construction, profile and carefully chiselled detail, such as the beaded lines to the inside edges of the mouldings and legs all demonstrate a master craftsman's work. There is significant age to this piece, it could well date to the mid 18th Century. It would of course make a magnificent large coffee table.
