Tunbridge micro mosaic octagonal low parquetry tilt top table

Tunbridge micro mosaic octagonal low parquetry tilt top table

Dimensions: 530 mm diam. x 700 mm high

Restoration: None yet. Priced as found. The item is wanting of full restoration to the top mosaic, dentil inlay and a couple of the table edge triangles.. all available as commission. NB. if we replace missing tesserae/inlays/veneer, we do so with real wood tesserae from our vast stocks of Tunbridge micro mosaic spares and veneer. We never use wax/paste fillers or paint faux inlays like some of the less scrupulous restorers we have come across.

If an item was originally french polished we will nearly always re-spray & polish with a hardwearing lacquer (of good interface) which is far superior in technical attributes and quality of finish than French polish ever will be or ever was. We tend to use matt or satin sheen(as per customer preference) in order to reduce visual glare hot spots. This helps the beauty of wood and the design of any piece to be much more obvious and visually un-interrupted as opposed to that with higher gloss sheens.

Origin: Tunbridge, UK mid 19th century

Extras(please contact the office): Full restoration with satin or matt respray and polish with hardwearing uv and oxidising resistant lacquer to help preserve colours. Potentially change centre field of table top for eight way radial book matched burr walnut with or without Louis cube centre. The existing shown is not the original anyways.
