About This Object
A fine two-tier marquetry coffee table, of exquisite Sheraton design and exceptional colour and patination.
English, circa 1860.
Why we love it
Its slender design, superb craftsmanship and exceptional colour are really outstanding and highly unusual for the period when it was made. The original surfaces have mellowed to a most pleasing, warm colour, and its exquisitely engraved marquetry looks and feels as stunning as Georgian.
