A Regency mahogany circular dining table probably Irish, circa 1820

the moulded rosewood crossbanded, figured mahogany tilt-top inlaid with brass stringing, on a reeded stem and four hipped leaf-carved reeded legs

Generally this is in good condition. The top is exceptionally well-figured. There are several minor patches and areas of minor filling to the top which has some shrinkage where the grain has opened and also being made in two halves, along the lines of construction where there are also some minor patches. There are some later buttterfly patches to the underside. The catch has been re-positioned. The block on top of the column has an age crack. The legs are scuffed consistent with age and use. Overall a very attractive table.
