Freshfords Fine Antiques is a family business started by my father, Alan, in 1987 in the City of Bath where he traded for 10 years as Beau Nash House Antiques. I joined my father in 1997 when we renamed the business Freshfords Fine Antiques. My father retired in 2005 and the business is now located in a purpose-built showroom 7 miles south of Bath.

The rectangular statuary marble top is figured with grey veins and is probably the original top. The marble rests above inverted acanthus leaf decoration and floral motifs adorn the lower section of the frieze. The frieze is set on crisply carved lion monopodia legs that terminate on paw feet and stand above a giltwood plinth. The mirror back plate is original and is supported and flanked by egg and dart moulded uprights.
