Near Pair of Regency Lamp Tables

Near Pair of Regency Lamp TablesA charming pair of early Regency period side tables or lamp tables, of warm colour and original patination. English or Scottish, circa 1810. Why we like them We love the simple and slender Georgian design of these tables, with a Regency 'twist' of quite elaborate turning to the legs. The unusual thinness of its components lend this design a very delicate look. Perfect as bedside tables or at the ends of a sofa. Dimensions Table 1 Width: 58cm 23 Depth:
