Description

A fine and early George II period Cuban mahogany drop-leaf gateleg table, dating to circa 1740. The well-figured mahogany top is of near square form, constructed from three heavy planks of beautifully grained early timber. Each end leaf is supported by a single gateleg, giving the table both practicality and elegance. The plain frieze is raised on tapering turned legs, ending in offset pad feet – a hallmark of the period.

Compact and versatile, this piece works equally well as a small dining table, occasional table, or side table. Its restrained Georgian form, fine timber, and lovely proportions make it an excellent and highly decorative early 18th-century example.

Dimensions (Approximate):

Height: 70.5 cm (27.75")

Width (leaves up): 102.5 cm (40.375")

Width (leaves down): 36 cm (14.25")

Depth: 91.25 cm (36")

Condition:

In very good original condition, commensurate with age. Structurally sound and sturdy. The table retains its original surface with a rich, mellow colour and attractive aged patina. Never refinished or French polished – only sensitively cleaned and waxed, preserving the authenticity of its surface. Minor marks and old scratches as expected, all now well polished over, adding to its character. A fine, untouched example, ready for use and display.

FAQs

The George II period spans from 1727 to 1760, characterised by a transition from heavier walnut designs to the sophisticated use of imported Cuban mahogany, featuring refined curves, cabriole legs, and pad feet.

These pieces were typically constructed from dense timbers such as Cuban mahogany or oak, utilizing traditional joinery techniques like mortise and tenon, with hinged drop leaves supported by swinging gate legs.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-correct hand-cut dovetails, timber shrinkage consistent with age, hand-turned legs with pad feet, and the rich, dark patina characteristic of untreated historical hardwoods.

This versatile piece functions effectively as a console against a wall or an expandable dining table, pairing well with minimalist modern seating to create a striking contrast between old and new.

Maintain the timber by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and applying natural beeswax periodically to nourish the wood without building up heavy residue.
