Item no. 85
Eighteenth century mahogany Pembroke table, circa 1765, with later modifications, circa 1890s. With square moulded legs, this Pembroke almost certainly started out with a square-edged rectangular top. Fast forward over a century and the more humble top was altered to form an ovoid shape, given a rounded edge and inlaid with satinwood cross-banding. Likewise, the drawer front and the opposite panel. The centre shell motif completed the neoclassical makeover. The top does have a very pleasing faded patina and marks consistent with use, and has been freshened up. Hardware includes the original iron lock and three out of four original squat castors, although the drawer handle had been replaced. Repairs to loose cross-banding and drawer.
