Georgian Oak and Elm Tripod Occasional Table

18th century
Description

Tripod tables are numerous and most are unremarkable. Occasionally, however, along comes one that sets itself apart and this little table is one of those.

The single piece oak top has a milled edge which slopes inwards and is supported on a beauifully drawn oak baluster column with ring turning to its top and base. Even the elm block to the underside of the top is a joy!

The elm legs, simply shaped, extend beyond the diameter of the top which gives the piece greater stability and appeal. Beauifully proportioned and superbly patinated with great variation and intensity of colour.

English, circa 1770- 1800.

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.

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.
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.

A Georgian tripod table typically features a circular top supported by a single turned central stem and three out-swept legs. Developed in the eighteenth century, these versatile pieces were designed to be portable and were commonly utilised as candle stands or wine tables.

Craftsmen predominantly used native hardwoods such as oak, elm, walnut, and mahogany. The central stem was turned on a lathe, while the three legs were joined to the base of the column using dovetail joints, often secured with iron plates for added structural integrity.

Authentic pieces display signs of hand-craftsmanship, including hand-planed undersides, slight asymmetry due to timber shrinkage over centuries, and original dovetail construction where the legs meet the central column block.

These compact tables serve as functional accents placed next to a reading armchair, beside a sofa, or within a quiet corner to hold a small lamp, drink, or book, bridging traditional craft with contemporary spaces.

Preserve the natural wood patina by applying a high-quality clear beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the table away from direct heat sources such as radiators and direct sunlight to prevent timber warping or splitting.
