Description

England, c1825. A highly figured rectangular fold-over top with rounded corners over a chamfered shaft with four radiating scrolls, on a molded plinth base with disc feet, the slightly faded top opening to a fully vibrant inner calamander surface with dramatic light-dark striation Condition: With original surfaces; light surface scratching; structurally very sound. Note: Calamander ranks only behind satinwood as being one of the most desirable and expensive woods. Its drama comes from its bold figuration from almost black to a pale yellow. It was used for veneer during the Regency period on only the most expensive pieces.
