Late 19th Century Superb Quality Chippendale Style Mahogany Piecrust Tilt Top Table

1900 - 1920
Description

A late 19th century superb quality Chippendale style mahogany piecrust tilt top tea table with tripod base.

This table consists of a mahogany top of good patina (colour) with applied scallop shell and foliate carved decoration with applied piecrust decoration to the edge, the top can either be secured down or tilted up.

The top is supported by a tri-form base consisting of a turned and carved baluster column with foliate and rope twist decoration leading down to three cabriole legs with scallop shell carving to the knee and terminating with claw feet.

This type of carved tripod table became popular in the 18th century providing an example of fine carving on a domestic item.

The drinking of tea became fashionable amongst the upper classes at the beginning of the 18th century and a ‘tea table’ was used to display the best silver and china, not being covered with a table cloth like a supper table they were decorated with carving, a gallery or a pie-crust edge.

This table is in very good condition for age, is of stable construction and can go straight into a home, it is a very versatile table and could be used in a variety of settings.

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

A piecrust table is an 18th-century design featuring a raised, scalloped edge carved around the rim, popularised during the Chippendale period for serving tea and wine.

These tables are predominantly constructed from dense hardwoods such as solid mahogany, featuring turned central pillars and tripod bases secured with brass catch mechanisms.

Key features include hand-carved shell motifs on the piecrust border, a solid brass tilt-latch beneath the top, turned column supports, and carved cabriole legs.

Position the table in an alcove or beside an armchair, or tilt the tabletop upright to display the carved face when not actively in use.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply natural beeswax twice yearly, avoiding direct sunlight and proximity to heat sources.
