Regency Giltwood Console Table After the Antique

This refined Regency giltwood console table exemplifies the grandeur of early 19th-century English decorative arts. Drawing inspiration from the renowned Neoclassical designer Thomas Hope, its opulent form pays homage to classical antiquity with distinctive Regency flair.

Date: Circa 1810
Material: Giltwood with white marble top

Dimensions: Height: 85.5 cm (33.5 in); Width: 87 cm (34.5 in); Depth: 37 cm (14.5 in)

In the context of Regency design, this giltwood console table is a true statement piece, encapsulating the period's admiration for the ancient world. Its bold ornamentation and sculptural quality call to mind celebrated examples found in museum collections and stately homes. Made in the style of Thomas Hope, a leading figure in Regency taste and the Grand Tour tradition, it reflects scholarly interest in Greek and Roman motifs, as well as the innovative craftsmanship of English makers of the time.

Notable Features:

  • The frieze is richly carved in high relief with elegant scallop shells and acanthus leaves, echoing Neoclassical motifs favoured during the Regency period.
  • Distinctive giltwood supports take the form of classical chimeras with volute bodies and hybrid leopard heads, adorned further with pendant anthemions and set on robust hairy paw feet with stylised broad leaf ‘socks’.
  • The white marble top adds an element of restrained luxury, complementing the exuberant giltwood beneath.
  • Its form and ornament are directly influenced by leading Regency designers and stand as a testament to the period's fascination with antiquity.

Collecting this exceptional Regency giltwood console table provides not only a rare example of English Grand Tour-inspired furniture but also a splendid focal point for any sophisticated interior. Its impressive scale and highly decorative presence make it suitable for both display and functional use in a hallway, drawing room, or as a centrepiece within a curated collection of period antiques.

This Regency console table is an ideal acquisition for collectors in pursuit of outstanding Neoclassical design and fine craftsmanship. With its distinguished provenance, superb detailing, and period authenticity, it stands as an enduring symbol of English Regency style.
