A rare and exceptional late Victorian / early Edwardian mahogany console table by renowned furniture manufacturers Howard & Sons.
This wonderful table features a rectangular mahogany top, below which is a beautifully carved neoclassical frieze. The frieze features two invisible drawers, both having dovetailed joints, brass locks and brass key escutcheons. Additionally, the top of the right-hand drawer face is stamped with 'Howard & Sons Ltd Berners St' toward the centre and the product serial number to the right-hand side.
Mounted on four fluted legs with a double ring turning to the top and slender reeding below.
The overall condition is very good, with barely a mark to speak of . Please see images to fully appreciate the fantastic order this piece is in.
I have only ever seen one of these once before on a reference website. This is a rare opportunity to own an unusual piece from one of the pre-eminent London furniture makers of the 19th century.
