18th Century Irish Mahogany Side Table

18th century
Description

A beautifully simple Irish Chippendale style mahogany side table c1770, with a drawer at each end and open bracket detail to the square legs. There is a large carved shell motif to the central frieze of the table, a design feature often found on Irish furniture. The top is made of a single piece of mahogany which has developed a lovely patina.

A very stylish table with an excellent rich colour to the mahogany. Unusually it has a drawer at either end instead of in the front, which have the original axe drop handles. The shell detail to the front is gorgeous - it is quite substantial and beautifully carved from solid mahogany.

Condition: The table is in very good original condition throughout, with some minor surface marks which I have tried to show in the photos. One of the drawer handles is a little deformed. The top is a lovely piece of mahogany with marks and wear in accordance with age, which is all part of its charm. The top is a little lighter in colour than the base of the table. probably due to exposure to sunlight.

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.

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

Irish furniture from the 18th century typically features robust proportions, distinctive hand-carved motifs such as central scallop shells or masks, and dense, dark mahogany timber. These pieces combine broader Georgian stylistic influences with regional cabinetmaking details unique to Irish workshops of the period.

Georgian side tables were constructed using solid mahogany, employing hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery alongside hand-planed surfaces. Decorative corner brackets or spandrels were frequently added at the leg junctions for both structural reinforcement and visual balance.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit characteristic deep carving, notably central shell motifs, square tapered or cabriole legs, and heavy Cuban mahogany wood with natural age patination. Hand-saw marks, original joinery, and slight irregularities on unseen undersides also indicate period authenticity.

A Georgian side table serves as a functional focal point in an entryway, hallway, or living area. Pairing the rich wood grain with minimalist ceramic table lamps, modern artwork framed above, or contemporary glass vessels creates a balanced contrast between historical craft and modern design.

Maintain mahogany surfaces by dusting regularly with a clean, dry lint-free cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice annually along the wood grain. Position the table away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and damp environments to prevent timber movement or finish degradation.
