Description

An 18th Century George II English Mahogany Tray Top Side or Silver Table.

This fine table is of late George II or early George III period, made around 1760. The piece has an overhanging top with an edge moulding, creating a tray top design. Tables with tops of this sort are known as silver tables as they are believed to have been made for wealthy households to use to take tea, usually served in silver vessels. The table top has four particularly elegant, re-entrant corners. It has a single drawer in the frieze with its original plate handle and below the frieze there is an unusual piece of drop carving. We have not seen this particular motif on anything before. The motif is also used on the back frieze, and the piece is finished all round, allowing it to be used to take tea in the centre of a room as designed. The table is of excellent colour and patination and stands on four chamfered legs with small castors.

A very attractive and useful side/occasional table.

Date of Manufacture

Lee Wright Antiques & Interiors Ltd has dated this George II Mahogany Table to the 18th Century.

The George II style, spanning the mid-18th century, is characterised by a transition from heavier walnut designs to the sophisticated use of mahogany, featuring architectural symmetry and refined proportions.

Authentic pieces from this period were predominantly constructed from solid mahogany or oak veneers, joined using traditional hand-cut dovetails and pegged mortise and tenon joints.

Authenticity is assessed by examining hand-tooled joinery, timber shrinkage, period-correct brass hardware, and natural patination that develops through centuries of use.

Pairing historical timber pieces with modern minimalist seating or contemporary abstract art creates a balanced, layered aesthetic that highlights the warmth of the antique wood.

Maintain antique timber by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and treat it periodically with traditional beeswax to nourish the wood and preserve the finish.
