A highly important Regency mahogany and ebony centre table of superior quality, spectacular scale and featuring Thomas Hope`s Neo-Classical influences. The circular top constructed of the best grade solid figured mahogany with reeded edge, above a solid mahogany frieze with ebony mouldings and four recessed panels with carved rosettes and anthemions. Supported on a powerful base with a central reeded column and carved lappets, above quatreform concave plinth with further ebony mouldings and carved rosettes with flanking anthemions, raised on four oversized carved paw feet with further carved paterai and scroll wings, above sunken brass castors. The use of horizontal anthemions and the scroll wings to the feet are designs that feature prominantly in
Thomas Hopes drawings. Excellent colour throughout and well preserved untouched condition. Also with ability for the top to tilt upright for storage, using second set of manufacturers holes in the bearers to raise the height of the top. Circa 1820.
