Rare 18th Century Walnut Tea & Silver Table

18th century
Description

An Extremely Rare Mid 18th Century George II Period Walnut

Tea Table Having Well Figured Foldover Top Enclosing

Divisions To Well Raised On Elegant Turned Legs With

Carved Lappet Detail To Top And Original Pad Feet

(A slightly unusual, but most charming, take on the stereotypical

George II Period Tea Table, which we have never come across

before. Often you find these tables allow access to two different

folding surfaces, one of which is baized for playing cards at, and

other solid wood for serving tea at. This table however has been

designed clearly specifically for serving tea at with an unusual

moulded lip around the outside when opened. Under the folding

top there is some lovely quality divided sections to the deep well

which is almost certainly designed for keeping the silver required

for serving tea from in. The table is also constructed from excellent

quality walnut which retains a warm and rich colour and is raised on

incredibly elegant turned legs. A charming and unusual piece which

could be used in a variety of different environments.)

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.

An 18th-century walnut tea table is a specialised piece of occasional furniture designed during the Georgian era for serving tea, featuring a fold-over top or raised rim and supported by slender legs.

These tables were primarily crafted from solid or veneered walnut, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, swing-leg mechanisms, carved cabriole legs, and pad feet.

Authentic period pieces display hand-sawn timber marks, natural shrinkage around construction joints, original iron or brass hinges with hand-threaded screws, and undisturbed oxidisation on unpolished surfaces.

Place the table as a compact console in an entryway, as an occasional table beside a sofa, or within an empty corner beneath artwork to introduce historic texture.

Clean the surface with a soft dry cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish sparingly twice a year, ensuring the piece is kept away from direct heat sources and sunlight.
