Antique Georgian Mahogany Fold-over Tea Table C.1790

18th century
Description

A fine late Georgian mahogany fold-over tea table of compact proportions, the rectangular top folding open to a sizeable surface, supported on a hinged leg to the rear, all raised on reeded square legs.

Its slim closed depth serves particularly well as a narrow side table in a hallway or living space where space is limited, with the flexibility to extend for serving or entertaining as needed.

Very good antique condition with some surface wear consistent with age. Structurally sound, clean and ready to place in the home.

English, circa 1790.

Closed - H: 72.5 W: 78.5 D: 38 cm

Open - H: 70.5 W: 78.5 D: 74 cm

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

Popularised during the 18th century, fold-over tea tables were crafted for social tea gatherings, serving as narrow wall consoles when closed and opening into wider surfaces when supported by a swing-leg mechanism.

These tables typically utilise dense Cuban or West Indian mahogany timber, traditional hand-cut mortise-and-tenon joints, brass butt hinges, and gate-leg or rear swing-leg mechanisms to support the hinged leaf.

Authentic pieces display hand-planed undersides, original iron screws, evidence of timber shrinkage over time, and natural oxidisation along unvarnished interior frame sections.

It functions effectively against an entryway wall, behind a sofa, or in a hallway, supporting table lamps, ceramics, or framed artwork when kept in its closed position.

Regularly dust the timber with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish twice a year, while avoiding direct sunlight and proximity to heat sources to prevent timber cracking.
