Regency Mahogany Pembroke Deception Table
A magnificent small antique Regency pembroke “deception” table in beautifully figured mahogany dating from circa 1820. The “deceptive” front flap, dressed as two cock-beaded drawers with turned knobs and escutcheon, drops down to reveal a vacant interior – ideal as a work table, pot cupboard or lamp table with storage. With a dummy drawer to the opposite side, it can be placed in the centre of a room if desired. The table is raised on four elegantly turned legs terminating in their original brass cup castors. In good condition, this piece would grace any room it could be used as a laptop table or would work equally well as a lamp table.
Thomas Sheraton in his Cabinet Dictionary of 1803 stated that the function of a deception Pembroke table was ‘to answer the purpose of a pot cupboard, or any other secret use which we would hide from the eye of a stranger’. It is believed to have originated with the firm of Gillows, as a design for a deception table appears in the Gillow Estimate Sketch Books for June/July 1787 (Westminster City Archives 94/44-5).
