Created in England during the second quarter of the 19th century, this Regency mahogany table called a drum table or a rent table features a circular top fitted with black leather embossed with scrolling foliage and flowers. Showcasing a reeded edge, the table presents eight drawers on the apron, all fitted with ring pulls on floral-themed backplates.
