This early 19th-century Regency period occasional table is an English country house piece comprising a Cuban mahogany butler's tray resting on an original turned X-frame stand. The rich dark brown timber displays panelled construction on the oval tray top, complemented by bright brass flush hinges and inset cut-out handles at each end. The folding sides lift to form a larger surface area, supported by the intersecting turned legs which terminate in neat rounded feet. Measuring 74 cm high, 96 cm wide and 76 cm deep, the table provides a portable surface that functions well at the end of a sofa or beside a chair in a living room or study.

FAQs

A butlers tray table is a portable serving surface featuring a removable or hinged tray set upon a foldable stand, originally designed in the 18th and 19th centuries to assist domestic staff in serving tea or refreshments.

High-grade dense timber such as Cuban mahogany, oak, and walnut was predominantly used, paired with cast brass flush hinges and straps to withstand regular handling and folding.

Authentic examples display hand-cut dovetail joints, heavy timber construction with rich colour, original brass rule hinges with flush countersunk screws, and hand-turned spindle legs on the foldable stand.

An antique butlers tray table functions effectively as a side table, bar cart, or coffee table in contemporary living rooms, offering timber tones and historic character.

Maintain the original surface by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct radiator heat.
