Center tableabout 1810Rosewood, gray granite, gilt metalThis unusual center table on a rosewood plinth recalls similar tables used to furnish the Prince Regent’s London residence at Carlton House. A variety of new furniture forms, such as pier tables, console tables, and side tables, were developed during the Regency period for halls and reception rooms. This table is notable for its finely cast and modeled central column, decorated with acanthus leaves and supported by classical scroll brackets.Furniture80.0101600203 Centimeter83.8201676403 CentimeterPhotograph © Mallett Antiques Ltd. http://collections.mfa.org/objects/520387/rdf
