About the Item

A gorgeous Irish 19th Century well figured walnut flip top centre or dining table in the manner of Strahan of Dublin. This stunning piece is of exceptional quality, finely hand carved and fully restored with beautifully rich patination and grain. The moulded and quarter veneered serpentine top of oval form with canted detail is raised over an elegantly simple deep frieze and is fitted with a hinged tilting mechanism that allows its top to be positioned in upright orientation. Supported on a beautifully ring turned pod embellished gadroon motif detail above a quatrefoil base with graceful out-splayed scroll leg with exquisitely detailed arrangements of richly trailing flowerhead and foliate motifs on knee and foot, finely carved in high relief, terminating on well cast brass casters. Robert Strahan, Dublin, Ireland Founded in 1776 as a cabinet maker, Robert Strahan Co. grew to become one of Ireland's premiere furniture designers, exhibiting at The Great Industrial Exhibition of 1853 in Dublin. A walnut table, exhibited at the second London International Exhibition of 1862, showcased their talent for both design and manufacture. Bringing together marquetry, scrolling foliage, masks, strap work and cartouches in a piece of some merit; A fine piece displaying the influence of Thomas Hope and Richard Bridgens, it was illustrated in the Art Journal Illustrated Catalogue for the London exhibition. Designing and manufacturing for the Office of Public Works, the firm gained the reputation for high quality furniture and were commissioned to design and manufacture for some of the great Irish country houses such as Doneraile Court, Co. Cork and Lisnavagh, Co. Carlow. The Firm started out trading from 10-11 Chancery Lane. Moving forward 39 years to 1815 and the firm had expanded in to 24-25 Henry Street. In 1845 it expanded further still into 5 Leister Street. In 1870 the firm moved to Abbey Street trading under the family name until 1969.
