1920/30s Mahogany Octagonal Table

This exceptional mahogany drum table is a quintessential example of Regency design, a style that emerged in the late 18th century and flourished during the early 19th century. Named for its resemblance to a drum, this table features an uncommon octagonal surface—a sophisticated variation on the more typical round form—crafted from solid mahogany and mahogany veneer. The table’s rich, reddish-brown hue and straight grain are beautifully offset by the lush red leather top, which is meticulously tooled with an elegant gold trim, adding a touch of refinement. As is characteristic of Regency drum tables, this piece is fitted with eight drawers, four of which are functional while the other four are “dummy drawers,” designed to maintain perfect symmetry. The drawers are adorned with circular brass knobs. The table rests on a central pedestal base, supported by four gracefully splayed legs, each embellished with Grecian-inspired scrollwork. The legs terminate in brass-capped paw feet on casters, seamlessly combining neoclassical elegance with practicality. This design not only provides stability but also allows for easy access to the drawers, making it as functional as it is visually striking. Unfortunately leather has some damage as can be seen from photos. Otherwise in excellent condition. 23inch High, 19inch Diameter. Check out my other ads.
