This Georgian mahogany sofa table is constructed from rich warm brown timber finished with a polished surface. The rectangular drop-leaf top is supported by twin vertical lyre ends, accented with a central twisted turned cross-stretcher rail and splayed legs terminating in brass caps. Two frieze drawers are positioned along the front elevation, each fitted with two round dark wooden knobs and escutcheons. Minor age wear is visible on the timber surfaces and hardware. The piece measures 74.9 cm in height, 81.3 cm in width, and 61 cm in depth when closed, extending to 142 cm wide with both flaps raised. In a contemporary home, this table functions practically behind a sofa or against a wall in a living room, study, or hallway, offering versatile surface space for lamps or books alongside concealed storage within the drawers.

FAQs

A sofa table is a long, narrow table designed in the late 18th and early 19th centuries to be placed behind a sofa or against a wall, featuring drop-down leaves at either end and drawers along one side.

Craftspeople primarily used dense Cuban or West Indian mahogany, often accented with brass castors, ebony inlaid stringing, turned cross-stretchers, and oak or pine secondary woods for internal drawers.

Look for hand-dovetailed drawer joints, hand-planed secondary woods, original brass caps or castors, authentic keyhole escutcheons, and natural wear patterns consistent with genuine age.

Position it directly behind a contemporary sofa to hold lamps and books, use it as a slim hall console in an entryway, or extend the leaves to serve as a compact home office desk.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and radiator heat sources to prevent timber drying.
