It is a large and particularly good quality example made from richly coloured timbers with a lovely patina.

It is in good original condition and is strong and sturdy.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Designed during the eighteenth century, a butlers tray table consists of a portable wooden serving tray with high gallery borders and handles, resting upon a collapsible x-frame stand.

Georgian tray tables were primarily constructed using solid mahogany or walnut, featuring dovetail joinery, hand-turned wooden legs, and brass hinges or webbed straps.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, genuine age-related surface patination, hand-turned joinery marks, and rich, dense mahogany timber.

A butlers tray table functions effectively as a compact home bar stand, an occasional drinks table placed beside an armchair, or a display surface for books and table lamp arrangements.

Maintain mahogany timber by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying beeswax polish annually, while avoiding placement near direct heat sources or damp environments.
