DESCRIPTION
A handsome Regency black painted and parcel gilt demi-lune console table dating from the early nineteenth century, circa 1820.
The substantial semi-circular top is raised on elegant turned and tapering legs united by a decorative frieze centred with a finely carved and parcel gilt musical trophy, flanked by gilt floral panels within moulded reserves. The contrasting black painted finish and restrained gilt decoration are characteristic of the Regency taste, giving the table a refined neoclassical appearance.
Of generous proportions, this table would work equally well in a hallway beneath a mirror, as a console table in a drawing room, or as a decorative side table. The elegant design and attractive original decoration make it a versatile piece for both period and contemporary interiors.

CONDITION
There are the expected marks, knocks and scratches commensurate with age and use. The black painted finish displays wear and rubbing, particularly to the front edge of the top, together with minor losses to the parcel gilt decoration, consistent with the age of the piece. There is evidence of historic inactive woodworm to the underside of the rear edge of the top. Structurally sound throughout with an attractive colour and authentic patina.
