Regency Rosewood Brass Inlaid Sofa Table

This exceptional Regency rosewood sofa table epitomises the elegance of early 19th-century English furniture. Offered in superb condition, the table boasts a rich, warm patina and intricate brass inlay work, making it a stunning statement piece for any refined interior. The rectangular top is adorned with fine brass inlays and features two hinged drop flaps at either end, allowing for expanded surface area when needed. These flaps are supported by elegantly brass-inlaid brackets at both the front and back, ensuring stability and adding to the table’s refined aesthetic. At the front, a single frieze drawer is crafted from solid oak with dovetail joints, reflecting the high-quality construction expected from the Regency period. For a balanced and symmetrical look, the back of the table features a matching dummy drawer, allowing the piece to be freestanding and beautifully finished on all sides—perfect for placement in the center of a room. The table is raised on a striking tapering concave rectangular column, gracefully adorned with delicately carved details on each corner. This central support leads down to a robust quadriform base, where four elegantly outswept legs extend outward, showcasing the finest Regency styling. Each leg is finished with a brass lion’s paw cup caster, a classic motif of the period that adds both grandeur and mobility. What truly sets this table apart is its remarkable brass inlay, which enhances the natural beauty of the rosewood veneer. The elaborate detailing is a testament to the skill of Regency-era craftsmen, making this table an exquisite example of early 19th-century English design. A rare and eye-catching statement piece, this sofa table seamlessly blends functionality with artistry, making it an outstanding addition to any collection of fine antiques.
