Georgian Mahogany Tilt-top Dining Table, Circa 1780

18th century
Description

A fine Georgian mahogany tilt-top dining table of generous proportions, dating from the late 18th century, circa 1780. The rectangular top is finely crossbanded in kingwood and Cuban mahogany, framed with delicate ebony stringing, and retains a rich, well-figured surface with excellent colour and patina.

The table is supported on a central turned and carved barrel-form column, raised on four swept splayed legs, each terminating in lion’s paw castors, allowing for ease of movement. The tilt-top mechanism functions smoothly, enabling practical storage when not in use.

A handsome and versatile piece, suitable for use as a dining table, centre table or occasional table, displaying the quality craftsmanship and refined detailing typical of the Georgian period.

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.

A tilt-top dining table dating from the Georgian period features a hinged top mechanism mounted on a central pedestal, allowing the surface to tilt vertically for compact storage along a room perimeter.

These tables were constructed primarily from dense mahogany, frequently incorporating flame mahogany veneers, satinwood or rosewood crossbanding, brass latch mechanisms, and brass castors.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut construction details, hand-planed underside surfaces, period-correct brass hardware, and natural timber shrinkage consistent with age.

Pair the mahogany tones of the table with contemporary dining chairs or modern minimalist lighting to create a balanced dialogue between historical timber and clean lines.

Preserve the natural timber surface by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying beeswax polish annually, avoiding direct heat sources and chemical cleaners.
