A highly interesting Kingwood regency work table with engraving of

This fine table has the usual work bag hanging from the top, designed to hold partially completed sewing and needlework projects. The piece is finely veneered in high quality kingwood and stands on four turned legs. It retains its original wooden ebonised handles and is further decorated with inlaid stringing and with a contrasting wide satinwood crossbanding on the top which is painted with floral sprigs. Most interesting of all the decorative accents is the central roundel-an engraving pasted to the top inside a painted “beaded” border. The print shows Pomona being drawn in a chariot by Scorpio and is after a design from the signs of the Zodiac by Edward Francis Burney. An impression in the British Museum may be seen here.

Estimate:£2,850
