A Good Early 19thC Walnut Wine Table c.1810-20Origin: EnglishPeriod: George III RegencyProvenance: UnknownDate: c. 1810 20Height: 28. 25Diameter: 15The walnut wine or candle stand type table of exceptional colour, having a well turned stem, pie crust top and a draught turned base to concealed peg feet, the whole surviving from the first quarter of the nineteenth century.

with the three-dimensional effect that poker work brings

It is generally employed as an embrocation in bronchitis
