Antique Metamorphic Console Table, English, 4 Seat Dining, Gaming, William IV

19th century
Description

This is an antique metamorphic console table. An English, mahogany fold-over 4 seat dining or bridge table, dating to the William IV period, circa 1835.

Superb metamorphic table, serving as a side table and opening up to accommodate four

Displays a desirable aged patina and in good, original order

Select stocks present fine grain interest and rich caramel hues

Rotating upon the frame through 90 degrees, the table folds open upon brass hinges

In closed form, the traditional console table presents itself as ideal for the hall or study

Folding over the top reveals a wonderful kitchen dining table for four guests

Finally, set within a drawing room, it becomes a fine card table, with generous space for playing a hand

Raised upon a quartet of faceted baluster legs and riding smoothly upon castors

This is a fascinating antique metamorphic console table, with a host of uses created from the fold-over nature of the lightly aged top. Solid joints and construction, delivered ready for the home.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Produced during the reign of King William IV between 1830 and 1837, a metamorphic table features a dual-purpose mechanism allowing it to transform from a narrow console table into a larger surface suitable for dining or gaming.

These tables were predominantly constructed from solid flame mahogany or rosewood, featuring hand-turned legs, concealed swivel hinges, and original brass castors.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit bold turned or reeded legs, substantial proportions, rich mahogany veneers, original brass wheel castors, and hand-cut joinery within the swivel or fold-over frame.

Place the folded table against a wall as a hallway console with ceramics positioned above, then expand it into a four-seat dining or card table when entertaining guests.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, ensuring the piece is kept away from direct heat sources and sunlight to protect the timber.
