ash and pollard ash library table by william trotter of edinburgh

Circa 1815, ash and pollard ash library table by William Trotter of Edinburgh. The long narrow rectangular top has rounded corners and beneath there is a simple apron which is veneered in pollard ash. While open it resembles a sofa table with 2 drawers to the left and right, with 2 dummy drawers adjacent. These have sunk beading facing, a classic feature of Trotter furniture. The table is free standing so has a small quarter bracket to the front and back. In the centre of the upright there are carved acanthus leaves all the way around, a rebated section in the centre and carving in reverse. Beneath this is a tapering or flared block which comes down to a large raised platform base. The platform base has further Trotter traits with concave sections all veneered and of pollard ash. The piece stands on 4 turned feet with fluting and tapering, leading to the castors.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
