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

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A cheveret is a small 18th-century English writing table featuring a removable upper cabinet or book trough with a carrying handle, designed during the late Georgian period for drafting personal correspondence.

These tables were crafted primarily from satinwood, mahogany, or rosewood, featuring crossbanded veneers, hand-cut dovetail drawer joinery, and cast brass ring handles.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut dovetails on internal drawers, original brass fitments with subtle oxidisation, hand-sawn wood backings, and natural timber patination across surfaces.

Position a cheveret table in an alcove, empty corner, or bedroom nook to serve as a compact writing desk or accent display piece.

Maintain the surface by dusting with a soft lint-free cloth, applying microcrystalline wax polish periodically, and keeping the timber clear of direct sunlight and moisture.
