A Small 18th Century English Table "Georgian Cheveret"

18th century
Description

18th century George III period satinwood writing table (or CHEVERET) in the manner of Gillows of Lancaster & London.

In two parts, the removable superstructure with carrying handle and three-quarter gallery above two short and one long drawer fitted with the original brass knobs. The Cheveret is highly-figured with West Indian satinwood and crossbanded in purpleheart.

The upper section is deliberately made with its large carrying handle and sits on a veneered table base that conceals a fitted drawer, that retains its original gilt brass ring pulled handles. The frieze drawer opens to reveal a pen and ink compartment with an adjustable sliding mahogany writing surface above storage to the underside.

The table base is free standing with satinwood and purple heart decoration to all four sides and raised on finely veneered elegant tapering legs.

The 18th century 'Ladies' writing table is of high quality and most probably executed by the makers of Gillow of London and Lancaster.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A cheveret is a small 18th-century English writing table, typically designed with a portable upper drawer unit or bookstand featuring an integrated carrying handle.

These tables were commonly crafted using fine timbers such as satinwood, mahogany, or rosewood, often enhanced with crossbanded veneers, wood stringing, and cast brass ring handles.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, natural timber patination, slender square tapered legs, and a detachable upper cabinet with a curved carrying handle.

Position the piece within a study alcove, drawing room corner, or hallway as a compact writing desk or accent surface to add classical balance to modern decor.

Position the item away from direct heat and sunlight to avoid veneer shrinkage or fading, and apply high-quality beeswax sparingly with a soft cloth to preserve the finish.
