A Fine George III Yew Wood Pedestal Centre Table in the Manner of George Bullock

18th century
Description

A fine and rare George III pedestal centre table in burr yew wood and in the manner of George Bullock, the tilt action circular top with plain edge and shallow frieze, with gilt brass latch underneath, on a central column shaft with moulded base and raised on four outswept supports with curved knees, terminating with plain brass castors. English circa 1805.

Condition: Overall very good, the table is in excellent condition for its age, the top is secure and sits well, the latch works well and the castors all run, the table has marks and a little fading consistent with age, but overall it has a glorious colour and wonderful patination entirely redolent of the period.

Attribution to George Bullock: Whilst this table is almost certainly NOT the work of George Bullock, there are several factors that suggest his influence: the style of table, the elegant proportions and pared back design, and the use of timber - burr yew is a rare wood and difficult to work with given its tendency to brittleness. The pedestal, strong and simply designed, is particularly reflective of Bullock’s style.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. 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. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

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.

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.

This George III centre table displays a circular tilt-top crafted from burr yew wood, showing rich warm brown grain patterns across the surface. The piece stands on a central pedestal column supported by four downswept legs with curved knees, fitted with plain brass castors at the feet and a tilt mechanism underneath. The surface shows light marks and fading consistent with age, alongside natural variation in the wood figure. Measuring 73 cm high, 122 cm wide and 122 cm deep, the table functions as a versatile occasional or dining surface when lowered, or can stand vertically to save space. It suits placement in a living room, study or hallway as a central statement piece.

FAQs

Originating in late 18th to early 19th-century Britain, these tables feature a central supporting column mounted on downswept legs, designed to stand in the centre of a room.

Cabinetmakers utilised native timber such as yew wood and decorative burr veneers over solid wood frames, incorporating brass castors and tilt-top mechanisms secured with brass catches.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut joinery, original iron or brass tilt latches, age-appropriate wear to the pedestal feet, and uniform oxidisation on the underside.

Positioned in an entrance hall or open living area, a circular centre table anchors the room when styled with contemporary ceramics, glassware, or floral arrangements.

Position the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer lifting, and apply a high-quality beeswax paste periodically to protect the timber.
