    I came outside of my flat today, and there was a small table on the doorstep. Apparently the other ground floor flat was being renovated and the old tenants didn’t take a lot of their furniture.

    It’s painfully obviously modern, but I couldn’t resist the reeded legs so I asked if I could have it. Pictures with my garden edited out:

    My question is: even though it’s obviously a mishmash of styles, what is it mostly? So far googling tells me that the leather top and turned-out peg feet are Victorian, but stylistically could it pass for Regency? My experience with furniture is 99% period dramas, not the most reliable source! Ps. Not trying to trick anyone, I just like the idea of taking the leather off at some point... provided it isn’t integral to the design :D

    leans more toward Regency than Victorian, Victorian tends to be pretty heavy.

    Regency or even a bit later. The leather is probably integral to the table's design. Nice "after" picture!!!!

    The same design was used for a nest of 3 from the 70's, they also had glass tops covering the leather.
    Have you checked underneath for a runner.

    Don’t think it was a nesting table, but not informed enough to be sure.
