English? Late Regency, William IV, or Victorian/neo roccoco?

Picking this up on Sunday, along with the chairs in the background. I'm leaning towards William IV, but I'm not entirely convinced about the stylistic attribution. The mahogany, however, looks very nice. Any thoughts?

NOM. Nice hunk of wood! Game table?

 

Yes! Def a foldable gamle table in lovely mahogany

 

Really out of my league. Not finding anything exactly like it. Any chance it is French?

 

Just one leg? Looks to fragile to support it.

The table top should have a swivel in it. Once open it should rotate 90 degrees and balance the weight.

 

I will post additional construction photos tomorrow, as I think they will make dating the table with greater confidence much easier.

At the moment I am leaning towards William IV or very early Victorian, perhaps somewhere around 1830–1850. I can also see some late Regency influence in the overall proportions and pedestal form, but the carving feels more William IV than pure Regency. Of course, that is only my current impression based on the visible details.

The main reason I bought the table was the quality of the craftsmanship. The carving on the pedestal immediately caught my attention, particularly the tripod base and the lion’s paw feet. The mahogany veneer also seems to be of very good quality, with attractive figure and a depth that still shows despite the worn finish.

I also thought the chairs in the background were worth mentioning. They appear to have unusually deep carving, well-modelled fluted cabriole legs and finely carved lion’s paw feet. The mahogany also looks to be of very good quality. To my eye, they also lean more towards William IV or early Victorian than Rococo Revival. Although they have cabriole legs, the overall design remains restrained and well balanced. They lack the heavier carving, pierced splats and exuberant scrolling that I would normally associate with mid- to late-Victorian Rococo Revival chairs. They seem to share the same refined character as the table, which is another reason I was drawn to it.
