Georgian Elm Demi Lune Tea Table

18th century
Description

A Charming Late 18th Century Elm Tea Table Having Superbly Figured Fold Over Top Retaining Excellent Warm Colour And Patina Raised On Square Tapering Legs.

This beautiful little table would most certainly have been made in the English countryside somewhere, by a keen, country woodworker trying to emulate the fine work of the exceptionally skilled cabinet maker craftsman, they had either seen, or heard about in the extremely well known workshops of the time located in the big cities.

The choice of elm used is really quite wonderful, with a highly decorative, figured pattern throughout, which also retains a wonderful warm colour and patina which has bene created over hundreds of years and is impossible to simulate.

In terms of the construction it is certainly sound and solid, if a little basic but that is one of the charming features of this beautiful piece that has no doubt got some fantastic stories to share from throughout its 250 years or so life.

It could be used in a while variety of places around the home for its original purpose as a tea table, or more likely just as a very elegant, attractive side or console table.

Circa 1780.

Height – 28.5in.

Width – 38in.

Depth – 18.5in.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

FAQs

Originating in the eighteenth century, a demi-lune tea table features a semicircular top designed to rest flat against a wall when closed and fold open to host tea service or card games.

These tables were constructed from solid hardwoods such as elm, mahogany, or walnut, utilising hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery alongside swing-leg or gate-leg mechanisms to support the hinged leaf.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetails, original wooden or iron hinges, natural wear along the fold joints, and subtle irregularities consistent with eighteenth-century hand craftsmanship.

Placed against an entry hall or corridor wall, the table serves as a slim surface for table lamps and decorative objects without encroaching on walkway space.

Preserve the timber surface by applying clear beeswax twice annually, placing the piece away from direct sunlight, and keeping it clear of heat sources such as radiators.
