A Fine and Important George IV Period Rosewood Library Side Table

Of symmetrical cartouche form, the table veneered in the finest rosewood with both carved detailing and inlaid brass or “Boulle work”. The table has four turned legs with a remarkable variety of carved mouldings ranging from typical Gillows reeding to leaf carving of various forms and gadrooning. The legs are joined by a central stretcher which has been ornamented in a complementary manner. The drawer fronts and mock drawer fronts on the piece have inlaid brass panels, the basic form taken from the work of the great French ornamentalist Jean Berain who was active in Paris in the 17th century. Beneath the drawers and running around the frieze is a fine beaded moulding. The top of the table features bookmatched rosewood veneers, surrounded by a wide band of inlaid cut brass work which follows the complex shape of the table ends beautifully.
