AN IRISH GEORGE III MAHOGANY CENTRE TABLE

This table displays many Irish characteristics, including the pounced ground to the apron decoration and the elongated scrolls trailing down from the tops of the legs. The back-to-back double eagle heads relate to a mahogany side table with complete eagles holding acanthus in their beaks and whose feathered tails become scrolling acanthus carved across the apron (The Knight of Glin & J. Peill, Irish Furniture, New Haven & London, 2007, p. 231, cat. no. 109).
