A fine mid-18th century George II mahogany snap-top occasional table, dating to circa 1750, of elegant proportions and excellent colour.
The well-figured circular top displays a rich warm mahogany tone with attractive patina, raised on the original tilt-top mechanism allowing the table to be neatly stored upright when not in use. The top is supported by a particularly attractive turned pedestal featuring a bold spiral twist (barley twist) carved column, an unusual and highly decorative feature that adds considerable visual interest.
The pedestal terminates in a graceful tripod base with elegant cabriole legs ending in pad feet, all beautifully proportioned in the classic George II manner.
A refined and highly usable antique, ideal as a lamp table, wine table, occasional table or beside a reading chair, equally at home in a traditional country house or a more contemporary interior where quality period furniture is appreciated.
