A Late Regency / William IV plum pudding mahogany fold-over table, circa 1825–1835.
A very attractive early 19th century mahogany fold-over table, of useful small proportions and excellent colour. The table works beautifully as a side table, tea table, occasional table or decorative hall table, with a richly figured plum pudding mahogany top, rounded front corners and a deep moulded frieze.
The top opens to reveal its original polished mahogany interior, retaining a wonderfully rich, deep colour and a largely untouched period surface. Unlike a baize-lined card table, this example was made with a polished mahogany interior, making it especially suitable as a tea table or occasional entertaining table.
The table is raised on a faceted pedestal column above a shaped quatreform platform base, with carved decoration to the collar and especially well-carved scrolling paw feet. The feet are of excellent quality, with strong definition and finely detailed carving, and retain their ori
...ginal concealed castors.
This is a particularly good survivor piece, retaining a high degree of originality, lovely mellow colour and a pleasing untouched character throughout. While this is a known and useful early 19th century form, the originality, rich interior surface, condition and quality of the carved base make this a much better than average example.
Dimensions:
Height: 74 cm / 29 1/4 inches
Width: 91.5 cm / 36 inches
Depth closed: 45 cm / 17 3/4 inches
Depth open: 90.5 cm / 35 5/8 inches
Condition:
Very good original condition. The table is structurally sound, with no loose joints, and the fold-over action works correctly. It appears to be completely original, with no repairs noted, and retains its original hidden castors. The outer top has a lovely original surface with attractive age, colour and patina, showing minor old marks and scratches consistent with age and use. There are a couple of small veneer losses, all well polished in and not detracting from the overall appearance. The original polished mahogany interior is especially pleasing, retaining a rich, deep colour and a largely untouched surface, suggesting the table has seen relatively light use over its lifetime. Overall, a very honest and well-preserved example with excellent character and particularly fine carved feet.
