Very Fine Quality George III Period Pembroke Table
Share
An especially fine quality antique Pembroke table. This table is made from several very expensive exotic timbers, the satinwood show wood is contrasted with king wood cross banding and stringing of box and ebony with panels inlaid to the legs and frieze in tulip wood. The proportions are perfect, with tall tapered legs and thin frieze. There is a drawer to one side and a false drawer to the other, both with original handles. This is one of the best examples of the period that one could hope to find and with such excellent colour and patina it surely would compliment (or improve!) even the finest of houses.
