Circa 1815. A rare unusual and stylish Goncalo Alves, (tropical hardwood also known as Tigerwood) Regency period whatnot. The top is well figured wood with a classic Edinburgh fine beaded fore-edge and a deep frieze, the second shelf with three fine spindles front and back support on four lovely, elegant turned uprights. Beneath this section is a small beading like the top that runs around the entire whatnot, with a full-length drawer beneath with cast brass swan neck handles with a lion head embossed on the facing, the lower shelf with similar beading and simple frieze, resting on four elegant turned legs finishing on a brass cup and castor. The colour and patination are perfect.
