Restored Druce & Co Victorian Georgian Occasional Library Table Lion Carvings
About the Item
We are delighted to offer for sale this absolutely stunning fully restored early Victorian mahogany Library table made in the Georgian Irish taste by Druce & Co
This table is exquisite, its one of the finest examples I have ever seen. The piece came to me almost black from over paint and poor ebonising, the plus side was that this coating had protected the timber under. My French polisher has washed it back totally and found this sublime timber patina under, it’s then been totally refinished and what you see now is a work of art.
The table has Georgian Irish influences all over, the lions heads at the top are clearly the work of a master carver, they flow beautifully down the long elegant cabriolet legs and finish with equally sublime lions hairy paw feet which are seated on the original solid brass castors. This table is a tour de force of style, charm and looks expensive and important in any setting
In terms of the restoration as mentioned its been stripped back and restored with a full French polish, there are still age and use related patina marks which have been intentionally left in, the table is honestly the best of its kind I have ever seen

- Fine Regency Mahogany Library Centre TableLocated in Lymington, GBA fine Regency period tilt-top brass inlaid mahogany and calamander library center table. Raised on a concave-sided triform base, with well-modelled cast-brass scrolling feet. Also referred to as a monopodium (table). All in excellent condition, well figured, and of very good rich color. Typical of designs by Thomas Hope (1769 - 1831). This form of antique table is also associated with work by George Bullock (1777 - 1818) and George Oakley (circa 1765 - 1841). Refs: A similar table with a leather insert, in the manner of Thomas Hope, circa 1800 - 1805, was sold in London for £39,650 - December 2010. This early 19th century table is reminiscent of the ‘Grecian’ style that the pioneering collector and designer Thomas Hope (1769-1831) popularized in Britain with the publication of ‘Household Furniture and Interior Decoration’ in 1807. Thos. Hope (banker, born 1769, d. 1831) The furniture manufacturer George Oakley (circa 1765-1841) was greatly influenced by Hope’s designs, and produced fashionable furniture in this style, using brass and star inlays similar to our table on offer. The firm’s designs and craftsmanship earned them royal patronage, and Oakley worked for the Prince Regent at Carlton House, as well as supplying furniture and upholstery for The Mansion House and The Bank of England. His work for the Cheere family - of Papworth Hall, Cambridgeshire, UK - is well documented. The reference to Geo. Oakley relates to a known table of this pattern in calamander wood and brass marquetry of starred-ribbon guilloche, which corresponds to the brass marquetry in a table supplied by Oakley in 1810 to Papworth Hall.
