A pair of Scottish Regency mahogany occasional or wine tables, possibly by James Mein of Kelso, and dating to c.1825. Each with a solid mahogany rounded rectangular top supported by a ring turned column on a tripartite concave platform base with turned boss to the column and raised on gadrooned feet. It should be noted the distinctive Scottish 'honey-pot' baluster turning to the column is characteristic of James & Matthew Morison of Ayr’s commissions for Sir David Hunter Blair at Blairquhan.

The overall dimensions at the largest points are approximately
45.5cm wide x 34.5cm deep x 73cm high
(17 7/8in wide x 13 5/8in deep x 28 3/4in high)

A renowned firm of cabinetmakers from the Scottish Borders, the Mein family are recorded as cabinet makers in Kelso from 1784-1854. James Mein Snr, the son of Alexander Mein, upholsterer of Edinburgh and Kelso, founded the firm as makers of fine quality furniture and following his death in 1830 his nephew (also called James Mein) took over the business until it was dissolved in 1854. Their patrons are known to have included the 5th & 6th Dukes of Roxburghe at Floors Castle, and the Earl of Haddington at Mellerstain.
