This Scottish tea-table dates from 1850 in the Regency style and is attributed to William Trotter of Edinburgh. Constructed from warm brown mahogany with a flame grain, the piece includes ebony, boxwood and satin birch banding on the D-shaped fold-over top. The structure incorporates a reeded frieze above a quadruped pedestal base with curved stems and hipped saber legs. The feet terminate in cast brass cap castors. Additional visual details comprise fine vertical fluting on the lower legs and subtle banding along the edge of the top. Measuring 75 cm high, 96 cm wide and 48 cm deep, the table provides a functional surface for living spaces or hallways. In a contemporary home, this piece works effectively positioned beside a front door or against a wall in a drawing room, offering a display surface that extends when needed.

FAQs

A Regency tea table typically features a hinged fold-over top designed to rest flat against a wall as a console when closed, expanding into a larger surface for tea service when open, frequently supported by a central pedestal with splayed quadruped legs.

High-grade flame mahogany, rosewood or satinwood crossbanding, and pine or oak secondary timbers were standard materials, complemented by brass castors and metal hardware.

Authentic pieces feature period joinery such as hand-cut dovetails on internal frames, original brass castors secured with period-appropriate screws, hand-carved reeding or fluting, and natural surface wear consistent with age.

Position the table closed against a hallway wall as an entry console, topped with a contemporary table lamp or ceramics, or place it behind a sofa to serve as a low display area.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply a beeswax polish annually along the wood grain, and keep the table away from direct sunlight and heat radiators to avoid timber shrinkage.
