Regency Style Leather-Top Drum Table
This is a circular drum-style library or rent table, likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, executed in a Regency Revival style. The piece features a dark, inset leather writing surface, framed by a wide border of highly figured mahogany veneer arranged in a radial 'sunburst' or book-matched pattern. The decorative perimeter shows a beautiful flame mahogany grain with a warm, reddish-brown patina. The table is supported by a central pedestal base with stylized columnar legs terminating in stepped plinths. The top edge is finished with a deep mahogany apron. Notable features include gold-tooling or embossed detailing around the leather's edge, indicating fine craftsmanship. The condition appears fair to good for its age, showing some surface wear, minor scuffs on the wood apron, and typical aging of the leather inset. The construction suggests a high-quality furniture piece, possibly English, characterized by the elegant symmetry and classical proportions associated with the George IV era. There are no visible maker's marks from this angle, but the veneer quality and joinery indicate professional cabinetmaking.
