Antique Sycamore and Ash Tripod Table

19th century
Description

A beautiful 19th century ash and sycamore tripod table c1810, with a circular tilting top made from two pieces of sycamore. The base is beautiful turned from ash with elegantly shaped legs and the whole thing has a fantastic golden colour.

One of the nicest tripod tables I’ve come across. This is in completely original condition with a lovely colour and a well turned base.

Condition: The table top has some water marks and stains, but nothing of note, and for me they add to its character. The clasp that locks the table top in place doesn’t click in when you lower the top to the base - you have to do it manually. Otherwise in very good condition throughout.

Mainland UK delivery (excluding the Scottish highlands) is included in the price - if you would like a quote for delivery elsewhere, or if you would like to collect the item yourself, please get in touch. Delivery of furniture usually takes between 7 and 21 days from order, though can sometimes take longer. If you need an item by a certain date please speak to us prior to ordering and we’ll try to help.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Tripod tilt-top tables gained widespread popularity in Britain during the eighteenth century as versatile occasional furniture. Designed primarily for serving tea or wine, their hinged mechanism allowed the top to tilt vertically, enabling compact storage against room walls when not in use.

Country vernacular tripod tables were typically crafted from native British hardwoods such as sycamore, ash, oak, and elm. Cabinetmakers frequently combined timbers, using dense wood like ash for the turned pedestal and legs, and figured timber like sycamore for the top.

Authentic period examples often display slight oval warping of the circular top due to natural timber shrinkage across the grain over centuries. Additionally, look for hand-cut joinery, original iron or brass tilt catches, and dovetail joints securing the legs to the central pillar.

A tilt-top table functions effectively as a side table positioned next to an armchair or sofa. Alternatively, the top can be fixed in the vertical position and placed in an alcove or corner to display the natural wood grain as a focal point.

Maintain native hardwood surfaces by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish annually. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and radiators to prevent structural timber warping and splitting.
