Lot 64 | A George III mahogany drum library table, it bears six conventional drawers interspersed with six opening by a revolving action. Mahogany was widely used in the 18th century for cabinets and tables as it famously possesses a straight, fine and even grain and good workability. Over time its reddish-brown colour darkens and when polished displays a reddish sheen as seen in this example up for sale on 21 November in Fine Furniture, Carpets, Ceramics and Works of Art.
The sale goes on view from Friday 16 November | 12-4pm
