An Unusual George II Mahogany Telescopic Tripod Table/ Candlestand, C.1740

18th century
Sold 1 January 1900 · Jeckyll & Co
This “Unusual George II Mahogany Telescopic Tripod Table/ Candlestand, C.1740” found a buyer.

It was listed by Jeckyll & Co. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

This Georgian table has a rare mechanism that enables the top to be raised on a steel rachet. The purpose was both a side table, and in modern parlance, a lamp table, supporting candles and lowering and elavating where the light was required, either for reading or to illuminate the room.

The dimensions published are with the height at its lowest level.

The ultilitarian square shaft and steel fittings give the table the look and functionality of a piece of furniture that may have been taken on a military campaign.

Condition: Structurally sound; surface repolished. There is a pin to hold the position of the table when raised, but there would also have been a spring loaded button which is no longer present. There is a old repair to the raised edge of the table and one leg has a historic brass repair, see images.

Date of Manufacture

Jeckyll & Co has dated this piece to the 18th Century.
