This George II period tea table dates to 1750 and follows English country house style. Made from red walnut with a warm brown colour, the piece has a rectangular fold-over top above a single frieze drawer fitted with a brass handle and back plate. A shaped apron runs beneath the drawer, and the structure is supported by four slender legs with club details, terminating in simple circular pad feet. Visible construction details include peg joints and the hinged back leg that swings out to support the surface when opened. The table measures 71 cm high, 75 cm wide, and 37 cm deep. In a modern home, this compact table sits comfortably against a narrow wall space in a hallway, living room, or study. The fold-over top provides a versatile surface for display or occasional use, while the lower drawer offers practical storage for small items. The understated proportions and rich timber tones suit both traditional and transitional interior schemes.

FAQs

A George II fold-over tea table is an English furniture piece dating from between 1727 and 1760. Designed with a hinged leaf, the top folds out to create a larger surface for serving tea or playing cards, while remaining compact when closed against a wall.

Mid-18th-century tea tables were predominantly crafted from native timbers such as walnut or imported mahogany. Components frequently include brass bail handles, wooden oak drawer linings, and hand-cut dovetail joints.

Authentic pieces feature period construction markers such as hand-sawn drawer bottoms, oak or pine secondary timbers, cast brass hardware with original central posts, and slender legs ending in pad or pad-and-disc feet.

Position the table folded against a wall in a hallway or living space as a console or side surface. Top with contemporary ceramics, a table lamp, or framed artwork to create contrast against the dark timber patination.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent warping and drying. Apply a high-quality beeswax paste once or twice a year with a soft cloth, buffing along the direction of the grain.
