Macassar Ebony Sofa Table.
A most rare and fine Georgian Regency period macassar ebony satinwood inlaid crossbanded sofa table, attributed to the Royal Cabinet Maker George Oakley.
The highly figured rectangular top is double crossbanded with satinwood and coromandel and the sofa table frieze is inlaid with satinwood vertical veneers and sits above a macassar ebony frieze. The frieze is fitted with two full length mahogany lined drawers and turned coromandel knobs and mirrored to the reverse with faux drawers.
The table top is raised on four solid turned and shaped baluster supports that sit on a concave plinth base. The plinth base is inlaid with satinwood and veneered with macassar ebony and is supported by four elegant out-stretched tapered legs with matching satinwood inlays that terminate on the original gilt brass capped castors.
George Oakley (d. 1841) George Oakley was among the foremost cabinet-makers of his day.
The black and white photograph here of the zebra wood sofa table is taken from the publication: Margaret Jourdain's Regency Furniture, Page 66, Fig 134, revised by Ralph Fastnedge.
