George II Mid 18th Century Mahogany Oval Drop-leaf Gateleg Dining Table – (Georgian, Pad Foot, Occasional, Circa 1750)

George II Mahogany Oval Drop-Leaf Gateleg Table, Circa 1750

A George II period mahogany oval drop-leaf gateleg table, dating from the mid-18th century. The well-figured solid Cuban mahogany top is of oval form, each leaf supported by a single gateleg action. The plain frieze is raised on tapering turned legs, terminating in offset pad feet — a distinctive hallmark of the period.

Compact and versatile, this elegant piece serves equally well as a small dining table, occasional table, or side table. Its restrained Georgian design, choice of early timber, and pleasing proportions combine to create a highly functional and attractive 18th-century example.

Condition:

In good condition throughout, commensurate with age. Structurally sound and sturdy with no loose joints. There is a split to the top with an old robust metal bracket repair to the hidden underside, and a small chip to the corner of one end leaves over the rule joint, neatly repaired and well polished over. Aside from these minor running repairs, the table remains entirely original, including all timbers and hinges.

Displaying a lovely aged patina and warm, even colour throughout. The surface appears to retain its original finish, maintained with wax rather than polish. Sensitively cleaned and waxed in our workshop with only minimal restoration to preserve authenticity. Now beautifully presented and ready for use.

As with all antique furniture, minor signs of age and use are to be expected and contribute to the charm and character of the piece.
