Featured Lion claw dining table

Hey there folks, I would really love some opinions on this table. It was my Grandparents and as far as I know it was shipped to them from Scotland somewhere between 1910-1920. There used to be paperwork but unfortunately it was lost in a move and I never personally had the chance to read it. I have very little knowledge but the general thought is that it's rosewood, it stands 71cm high and the surface is 138cmx108cm.

Any and all thoughts are welcome.

Thanks

Al

It is a stunner. This is all I have found that is similar thus far...and it does yours no justice.

 

Screams "quality" doesnt it ? Lovely .

 

Looks more like walnut, or maybe elm. Would think mid to late 19th century but out of my realm of expertise as to style. Maybe Regency?

 

Fine thing, that. Can you get some close ups of the wood? Looks to have some burr walnut in it amongst other things.

Ormolu edge by the look of it, and I suspect the column and feet were once gilded. I'd like to see underneath. First thought is early 19th C, which is what it screams to me.

 

@Ghopper1924 & @blooey, your presence is requested, please???

 

I don't think rosewood, either. If it's from Scotland I'd say it dates to 1870-90, with 1880 a reasonable compromise. Could even be a bit earlier.

 

Oho.

This was sold in Scotland. Only one photo, which is annoying. Yours is Georgian I reckon though.

My guess is late Regency breakfast table, mahogany, base looks like got rained on or got a bit wet maybe? Nice piece if you've got the room for it.

 

I'm wondering if it's tip tilt,hence wanting to see its underneath. And I agree on early 19th/late Regency.

 

This may not enhance what the type of wood is, enough.....with some TLC, I think this would be GORGEOUS!!!!

 

Imagine that as gilded as it was once.
