william iv oak and leather-topped drum table

Circa 1835, William IV, oak and leather-topped drum table, or library table. The oak table has a new re-leathered top, which is tooled, gilded and with a stylish pattern. It has been re-leathered by Roy Kirby, London. It has an oak cross-section with an ogee moulded edge, and beneath this is a configuration of a deep apron with drawers. Some of the drawers are dummy and every second drawer is real. Each of the drawers has a brass escutcheon and two knob turn-up handles. A single beading frames the top of the table, and beneath is a cruciform section fixing the table to the base.
A faceted and tapering column leads down to the base and it has an urn-like form. At the base of this is a carved, circular bezel that spreads out onto the raised, triangular platform base, which is veneered in quarter-sawn oak. It is finished on three squat bun feet, with a tapering top and bottom and castors beneath it. The table is a good size, excellent colour.

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.
