George III Harewood Pembroke Table with Tulipwood and Fine Painted Decoration
A finely decorated late 18th century English Georgian Pembroke table with its original painted decoration, consisting of a wide ribbon scroll border circling a taut strawberry garland, the edges finished with fine tulipwood cross banding. A painted vignette medallion with a scene depicting a little girl and boy playing with their spaniels is at the center of the table top. The table legs also have exquisitely precise bell flower sprays and pendants, and each square tapered leg terminates in a simple Marlborough foot. The harewood is rich with glowing golden color and subtle figure, a beautiful native English wood standing in for its imported equivalent, satinwood. Overall good antique condition, the surface cleaned and polished while carefully conserving the original paint. Typical signs of age and use: some separations to the wood, minor distress, some slightly darker marks to the wood of the center section.
