This “‘Gillows’ George III Cuban Mahogany Supper Table C. 1760” found a buyer.

It was listed by Webberley Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

A fantastic quality Cuban mahogany fold over supper table with an absolutely superb colour and chatoyancy and retaining its original finish.

Attributed to Gillows of London c. 1760 – see plates GG18 and GG22 of Susan E. Stuart’s ‘Gillows of Lancaster and London’ for similar examples with these wonderful ring and twist turned legs and reeded border to the top. The table also retains its original brass hinges and original large brass casters.

Gillows only stamped or signed a small percentage of its work but its designs and the skill of its cabinet makers are as clear as a signature and here the reeded top and ring and twist turned legs with their bulb terminals are quintessentially Gillows and the table is also undoubtedly of tremendous Gillows quality having been used for over 250 years yet remains in this superb condition without repairs, worm or damage. The table top made of two thickly cut single boards of solid Cuban mahogany with triple reeded borders.

Very heavy and sturdy, level when open, really superb in every respect including the beautiful timber and craftsmanship.

A lovely sturdy and usable supper table seating four people easily which folds away to a side table when not in use.

Dimensions are:

36 inches wide, 36 inches deep when open and 18 inches deep when closed. 29.5 inches high.

Declaration

Webberley Antiques has dated this George III Mahogany Supper Table to the Georgian era.

The George III period spans from 1760 to 1811, encompassing various design movements from Rococo and Palladian to Neoclassical. Furniture from this era is characterised by refined proportions, high-quality timber selection, and precise craftsmanship, often reflecting the influence of prominent cabinetmakers like Thomas Chippendale and Gillows of Lancaster.

Cabinetmakers primarily utilised dense Cuban mahogany imported from the Caribbean, known for its rich dark grain and durability. Construction typically involved hand-cut dovetail joints, traditional mortise and tenon framing, and the incorporation of secondary woods such as oak or pine in non-visible structural areas.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery with tool marks consistent with hand-tool manufacturing, natural wax patination developed over centuries, and shrinkage cracks in the timber. Hardware such as brass castors or hinges should show correct casting methods and oxidation patterns matching the stated period.

Historic timber furniture adds warmth, texture, and historical depth to modern schemes when contrasted with clean architectural lines and neutral palettes. Placing a piece of antique mahogany alongside contemporary upholstery or minimalist lighting creates a balanced, layered aesthetic.

Antique timber should be kept away from direct sunlight, radiators, and extreme humidity fluctuations to prevent wood splitting and fading. Maintenance requires occasional cleaning with a soft, lint-free cloth and application of pure beeswax to nourish the finish rather than modern silicone-based polishes.
