Description

A 19th Century Orangery Potting Shed Table, 106cm wide Carrara Marble Top.

Update

JUST BACK FROM WORKSHOP HAVING LEGS BUILT UP TO MATCH BY APX 16cm, NOW CORRECTLY MEASURING 79cm tall.

A superbly stylish, handsome late 19th century, original English country house orangery and/or potting shed table measuring 106cm with a serpentine, Carrara marble top.

An elegant hardwood serpentine, bow front base with reeded, tapering column legs, with newly turned, matched and fitted tapering lower leg section, see photos, supporting the original marble top. Presented with a handsome timeworn, silvered patination to the base and dry marble surface to the top.

We suspect the lower legs had been cut down, probably due to standing on cold and wet floors, a common thing, we’ve had new lower leg tapering sections fitted which raise the table by 16cm to 79cm tall including the marble top.., the table sits well and structurally excellent, a very useable and versatile table for indoor or outside use, conservatory, orangery or potting shed, hallway console table, farmhouse kitchen or bathroom etc.

Believed to be mahogany which has had outdoors exposure over time to silver down.

A wonderful antique table of considerable decorative appeal, an interior design piece that can enhance a classic or contemporary space, inside or out.

FAQs

Orangery and potting tables were traditionally utilised in large country estates for horticulture, propagating plants, and tending to tender exotics housed in glasshouses and orangeries during the colder months.

These utility tables are usually constructed from durable domestic timber such as pine or oak, often paired with a heavy marble top to provide a cool, water-resistant surface suitable for gardening tasks.

Authenticity is indicated by traditional joinery methods, natural weathering and patination on the timber, hand-carved or turned structural elements, and genuine wear consistent with utilitarian agricultural or horticultural use.

Such pieces provide a textural contrast in modern spaces and can be used as console tables in hallways or as functional preparation surfaces in kitchens, juxtaposing weathered timber against sleek architectural finishes.

Protect the timber with occasional applications of natural beeswax, and clean the marble surface using mild, pH-neutral soap and water while avoiding acidic substances that can etch the stone.
