Leeds Antiques has dated this Georgian Mahogany Dining Table to the 18th Century.
The oblong top is formed from well-figured solid mahogany boards and finished with a finely worked thumb-moulded edge, displaying a pleasing colour and mature patina developed over more than two centuries.
The top is fitted with a traditional Georgian tilt mechanism with brass locking catch, allowing the table to be stored upright when not in use. The table stands on a ring-turned pedestal above a well-drawn base of four reeded and gently swept legs, each terminating in original brass lion’s paw caps and castors.
A handsome and practical Georgian table of confident proportions, typical of good quality late 18th century English cabinetmaking. The generous size comfortably accommodates six people and works equally well as a dining or breakfast table.
