A GEORGE IV ROSEWOOD AND GILT-METAL-MOUNTED CENTRE TABLE, second quarter 19th century, the hinged tilting oval top above a spreading rectangular pedestal and concave-sided shaped plinth, on scrolled feet and brass castors, the top of the pedestal inscribed in chalk 'LOT 142'
The combination of brass with rosewood was a particular hallmark of fine quality furniture made in the first decades of the 19th century in London. Makers such as George Bullock, George Oakley, Morel and Hughes, George Seddon & Sons, George Morant and Tatham, Bailey & Sanders made quantities of furniture at every level of society and cost to satisfy the growing demand for newly fashionable interiors, especially after the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars after the allied victory at Waterloo in 1815.
