George III Cuban Mahogany Pembroke Table C. 1770

18th century
Description

A particularly fine quality mahogany pembroke table. The three part top cut from a single piece of solid Cuban mahogany and beautifully made so that the figuring flows naturally from the leaves and across the bed of the table and the grain is perfectly matched. Lovely exaggerated carved and moulded border.

The pair of concealed oak lined drawers open smoothly and are so finely made and fitted that they shussshh the air out as they close.

The substantial ring turned column set on a quadrapite platform base, again in Cuban mahogany, with elegant swept feet terminating in original brass casters.

A lovely table in excellent original condition and from a private local estate where it has been for many years. Fantastic colour, the mahogany bright with an iridescence known as chatoyance and retaining its original finish. No worm, breaks or damage and only small marks, bruises and superficial wear consistent with age and very caring use.

A heavy and steady pembroke table of the finest quality - elegant with well balanced proportions. Both leaves open smoothly and rest firm and flat on original mahogany hinged lopers.

In excellent original condition - strongly recommended.

Dimensions are:

39 inches wide, 21.5 inches deep with the leaves closed and 28 inches high.

41.25 inches deep when leaves open.

For metric please multiply by 2.5

A Pembroke table is a type of light, drop-leaf occasional table developed in the 18th century, named after the Countess of Pembroke. Popular during the Georgian era, it features hinged flaps that raise to extend the tabletop surface for dining, writing, or tea serving.

Georgian Pembroke tables were predominantly crafted from high-grade dense timber such as Cuban or Honduras mahogany, often featuring pine or oak secondary drawer linings. Metal fittings typically included brass castors, hinges, and drawer pull handles.

Authentic George III pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, original oak or pine secondary woods underneath, and hand-planed surfaces with characteristic wear around the hinges and feet. Look for period brass castors secured with square-headed woodscrews or original brass fittings.

A Pembroke table functions well as a versatile side table beside a sofa, a compact desk in a home office, or an occasional breakfast table in a bay window. Leaving one or both flaps down allows it to fit neatly against a wall while displaying contemporary ceramics or lamps.

Dust the surface regularly using a soft, dry lint-free cloth, avoiding chemical sprays and silicone polishes. Apply a high-quality beeswax paste once or twice a year, buffing gently along the wood grain to preserve the patination and protect the timber.
