England. Circa 1810.

​

This mahogany pembroke has a set of legs that, rather than looking like they are supporting the piece, have the appearance of hanging from the bottom of the table and terminating in tassels. By breaking the normal plane of the angle on the legs by 90 degrees, the craftsman has created a unique look that is immediately apparent from a distance.
The 7.75" leaves allow this table to open to a near-square of 29.5" x 31.5".
