Regency Pedestal Centre Table with Ebonized Brass Inlay Band

Design & Inspiration

Certain tables do not simply occupy the centre of a room — they command it. This round pedestal centre table, faithfully reproduced in the tradition of English Regency design (1811–1830), carries exactly that authority. The warm flame-figuring of the solid wood top radiates outward like the surface of a calm lake, interrupted only by the measured geometry of the ebonized apron below — a band of repeating interlocked ring motifs executed in brass inlay that encircles the table's full circumference. The effect is architectural: a piece that feels designed as much as it was built.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The top is finished in a deep French polish that draws out the natural figure of the Romanian solid redwood, giving the surface a translucent warmth rather than a flat sheen. The apron and base panels are ebonized — a technique the Regency period borrowed from its fascination with Egyptian and Greek antiquity — and set with repeating brass inlay arches that catch light at every angle. Corner medallion bosses in antique gold punctuate the base panels, reinforcing the period's love of controlled ornament. The tapered pedestal column transitions from the wide circular top down to a square plinth, a form directly traceable to the Regency drum tables made for English country house libraries. Four gilded turned bun feet complete the base, cast with a fluted melon profile that echoes the period's debt to classical column bases.

Dimensions & Details

Diameter: 120 cm | Height: 90 cm. The generous 120 cm diameter makes this table equally suited to a formal entrance hall, a reception lobby, or a salon centre. At 90 cm, the table height functions as a statement piece rather than a working surface — scaled to hold a floral arrangement, a lamp, or a curated group of objects. The square base footprint (120×120 cm) ensures visual stability beneath the wide circular top.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every detail of this table is produced by Brass & Wood's workshop craftsmen in Egypt, where woodworking traditions rooted in European classical training meet the precision demands of heirloom-quality reproduction furniture. The brass inlay work is applied by hand, the ebonizing is a multi-stage lacquer process, and the French polish is built up in successive hand-rubbed coats. This is not a piece assembled from stock components — it is made, start to finish, as a singular object.
