Early 20th Century Mahogany Drop-leaf Occasional Table by Andrew Thomson & Sons

1900 - 1920
Description

A refined early 20th century mahogany drop-leaf occasional table by the respected Scottish maker Andrew Thomson & Sons, Glasgow. Of elegant and highly practical form, the table features a rectangular top with two drop leaves, allowing it to be used compactly or fully extended as required. The frieze is fitted with two drawers, each retaining their original brass handles, providing useful storage. Raised on distinctive lyre end supports united by a turned stretcher, and set on original castors, the piece has a lightness and versatility that makes it ideal for a variety of settings — as a side table, lamp table or compact writing table. A well-proportioned and attractive example with a warm mahogany tone, combining functionality with classic Edwardian design.

Dimensions: Height: 55 cm, Width (closed): 65 cm, Width (open): 105 cm, Depth: 40 cm

Condition: In very good antique condition, with light wear consistent with age and use. The colour and patina are even and pleasing, and the table is structurally sound.

Marlborough Antiques & Interiors has dated this Mahogany Drop Leaf Table to the 1910s.

This early 20th century Edwardian occasional table is constructed from mahogany in a warm dark brown timber tone with a polished finish. The rectangular top has folding drop-leaf flaps on either side and sits above a frieze fitted with two drawers, both complete with decorative brass swing handles. Below, the structure is supported by scrolled lyre end supports joined by a central turned cross-stretcher. The splayed legs terminate in brass castors with small wheels. Light wear consistent with age and use is visible on the wooden surfaces. Measuring 55 cm in height, 65 cm in width when closed, 105 cm in width when open, and 40 cm in depth, the versatile format suits placement behind a sofa, against a hallway wall, or as a side table in a living room. The compact dimensions allow the drop leaves to be lowered to save space or raised when a wider surface is required for lamps, books, or writing.

FAQs

Originally designed in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a drop-leaf sofa table features hinged flaps at either end to adjust surface area, traditionally placed behind a sofa or against a wall.

High-density timbers such as solid mahogany and mahogany veneers are standard, often combined with brass hardware, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, and brass castors.

Look for original brass drop handles, natural age-related patination on the timber, makers marks or stamps, turned cross-stretchers, and traditional hinged wooden rule joints supporting the leaves.

Position the table behind a contemporary sofa or along an entryway wall, extending the leaves when additional surface area is required for lamps, ceramics, or books.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually along the wood grain, and protect the surface from direct sunlight, moisture, and heat sources.
