A very good looking well made and decorative piece, hand carved in rosewood, the base is very typical of the William IV era, with the original engraved brass castors and finished with a full hide green leather top that has gold leaf embossing.
The table as mentioned is a tilt top, the idea being it could be used as a centre table during the day and a draft excluder at night, these pieces were made for grand mansions and the biggest problem they had was keeping the chill out!
Condition wise the piece has been cleaned waxed and polished, it has all the original age and use related patina as you would hope to find, there will be some small timber losses around the base, the leather on the top will have aged beautifully. I can have the piece fully restored by my French polisher should the new owner wish, personally I would leave it exactly as it is

Condition
Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description pertaining to the condition.
Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of creasing and wear, we recommend annual waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
