Georgian 18th Century Mahogany Dressing Table

18th century
Description

An Extremely Good Quality Late 18th Century Mahogany Bowfronted Dressing Table, Of Good Large Proportion, With Well Figured Top Over One Long And Two Short Drawers Having Replacement Brass Knobs, Raised On Elegant Square Tapering Legs With Attractive Boxwood Strung Decoration Throughout.

This well proportioned 18th century dressing table is of excellent quality, constructed from high grade, rich, mahogany timbers and its extremely well put together so to speak.  The boxwood strung decoration is also a nice touch, adding further elegance to the table.

Despite being replacements the brass knobs sit extremely well on the table and are probably as old as the table themselves so very much in keeping and natural on the piece.

Of slightly larger proportions than is standard for an antique dressing table we think thats a great thing and makes this lovely table even more practical than normal. It would of course suit a huge variety of spots around the home and could be used for a huge variety of purposes, not just as a dressing table.

As with all items which we offer for sale this antique dressing table has been inspected and attended to by our highly skilled, well trained, specialist antique furniture restorers and received a natural wax polish before being placed on sale, to ensure it is ready for immediate placement and use within the home.

Circa 1790.

Height 32in.

Width 35.5in.

Depth 23.5in.

FAQs

Georgian style furniture, spanning from 1714 to 1830, is renowned for its symmetrical proportions, elegant lines, and high-quality woodwork. Inspired by Palladianism and Neoclassicism, pieces from this era frequently feature fine mahogany construction, delicate wood inlays, and refined leg designs such as cabriole or square tapered legs.

Dressing tables from the 18th century were predominantly crafted from dense, rich timber such as Cuban or West Indian mahogany. Decorative accents were achieved using boxwood or satinwood for fine stringing and inlay, while secondary woods like pine or oak were used for drawer linings.

Authentic Georgian pieces typically exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawers, irregular underside saw marks, and natural patination on the timber. The hardware often includes original cast brass or turned wood drawer pulls, while drawer linings generally show signs of age-appropriate shrinkage and wear.

A Georgian dressing table can serve as an elegant focal point in a contemporary interior, functioning as a bedroom vanity, an entryway console table, or a compact home office writing desk. Combining the rich mahogany tone with contemporary artwork, minimalist lamps, or neutral wall colours creates a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

To preserve antique mahogany, keep the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the wood from fading or splitting. Apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the timber and protect its original finish, wiping along the natural grain.
