AN IRISH GEORGE IV MAHOGANY LARGE SERVING-TABLE
CIRCA 1820, POSSIBLY CO. CORK
The rectangular solid three-quarter gallery above a plate-rail and concave-fronted frieze drawer flanked by side drawers, on spirally-reeded and foliate-carved baluster legs, on paw feet, the drawers lined in cedar and mahogany
50 in. (127 cm.) high; 98½ in. (250 cm.) wide; 28½ in. (72.5 cm.) deep

Specialist note

The spiral reeding is a characteristic thought to be associated with furniture produced in Cork, Ireland. A sideboard with a similarly large-scale solid gallery is at Glin Castle, Co. Limerick and illustrated in The Knight of Glin & J. Peill, Irish Furniture, New Haven and London, 2007, p. 195, fig. 261.
