18th Century Georgian Mahogany Tea Table

18th century
Description

A Charming Late 18th Century Georgian, Mahogany D Shaped Tea Table, Having Exceptionally Rare Gilded And Hand Painted Decoration To Satinwood Cross Banded Foldover Top, Over Frieze With Hand Painted Decoration, Raised On Square Tapered Legs With Elegant Decoration.

Tea tables, as the name suggests were made to serve tea from. Often part of a pair, with an identical matching card table, or even a wider suite of furniture they would simply stand to one side in a room and be pulled out, then opened up when required to allow for the placement of trays containing all that is required to serve tea from.

Now of course aside from its original purpose this table suits a whole variety of different spaces around the home. It could be used as a console table, a pier table, a simple side table or even as a card games table.

Clearly from the workshops of an extremely skilled cabinet maker, this beautiful table has the most fabulously decorated top. There is a wide band of satinwood which has then been gilded and hand painted over and then mellowed superbly over time. The decoration is extremely intricate and means the table has incredibly elegance.

As with all items which we offer for sale it has been through our workshops, where our highly skilled, traditional antique furniture restorers have inspected it and given it a natural wax polish, ensuring that it is ready to be placed straight into the home.

Circa 1785.

Height 28.75in.

Width 36in.

Depth 17.75in.

Depth 35.5in (top open).

Archival Detail
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.
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.

Introduced in the eighteenth century, a Georgian tea table is a specialized piece of occasional furniture designed with a hinged, fold-over top to serve tea or facilitate social table games.

These tables were typically crafted from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, often featuring boxwood or satinwood string inlay, flame mahogany panels, and hand-cut joinery on internal frameworks.

Authentic eighteenth-century examples exhibit hand-planed timber surfaces, irregular drawer linings, natural oxidisation on unexposed wood, and original brass fittings or wooden pivot hinges for the fold-over leaf.

Place the demilune table flat against a wall in an entryway or living space as a console, topped with contemporary ceramic vessels or minimalist table lamps to contrast the timber handiwork.

Preserve the original finish by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax paste annually while keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
