Regency Reading Table

A fine Regency walnut reading table in the manner of Richard Bridgens, a blind-fret pattern to the platform base showing the influence of George Bullock. Two drawers in the frieze are cleverly secured by a spring in order to overcome the need to fit locks and spoil the line. These drawers are easily released by depressing the spring from ubeneath each. Two further small drawers are hidden in plain sight at the canted corners either side of the two principle drawers.

The adjustable, lift-up top has been necessarily but finely relined, the removable lectern book support is readily stored in either of the drawers.

English circa 1830.
