For Sale by Prior and Willis
Description

Antique Georgian George II Mahogany Folding Card or Tea Table – c.1750, Fine Quality

Full of authentic charm and character, this fine quality George II folding card or tea table dates to around 1750 and showcases attractive mahogany with excellent colour, patina, and period charm.

A rare and highly decorative find, this elegant table would make a wonderful statement piece in the right setting. It's well-proportioned design and clean Georgian lines give it a timeless appeal suitable for both traditional and classic interiors.

The table is structurally sound, solid, and stable, with no loose joints. The folding top operates as it should, making it both practical and versatile for use as a card, tea, or occasional table.

In very good antique condition with minor historic knocks, marks, scratches, wear and imperfections as is to be expected with genuine antique furniture. Historic repairs as one would expect (nothing nasty or obvious) with 10-12 generations of use. The lock is incomplete.

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.

Originating in mid-18th century Britain, George II tea tables were designed for the social ritual of tea drinking, featuring a hinged fold-over top that allowed them to function as slender side tables when closed.

These tables were typically crafted from dense mahogany, incorporating hand-cut dovetail joints, mortise and tenon joinery, brass keyhole escutcheons, and hand-carved legs.

Authentic pieces feature characteristic mid-18th century design details such as cabriole legs terminating in pad feet, hand-sawn secondary timbers, original brass hardware, and natural oxidisation on interior surfaces.

A folding tea table can be placed against a wall in an entrance hall or living space to serve as a compact console, topped with contemporary ceramics or art objects to create a balanced visual contrast.

Preserve the natural timber patina by positioning the table away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and applying natural beeswax twice a year.
