George II Mahogany Drop‑leaf Dining Table - Cabriole Legs & Claw‑and‑ball Feet 1727–1760

18th century
For Sale by Whites Antiques
Description

A fine George II mahogany drop‑leaf dining table with cabriole legs and claw‑and‑ball feet. Untouched, well‑cared‑for condition with superb colour and authenticity

Why We Love This … A wonderfully honest and untouched George II dining table, full of warmth, integrity, and period charm. The colour is rich and mellow, the cabriole legs beautifully shaped, and the claw‑and‑ball feet are crisp and characterful. It has that rare quality of being both practical and deeply authentic - a table that has lived a long, well‑cared‑for life without losing its soul.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

Produced during the reign of King George II between 1727 and 1760, these tables feature hinged side flaps that raise to extend the tabletop surface, supported by swing-out cabriole legs.

High-density dense mahogany was the primary timber choice, selected for its stability, strength, and dark reddish-brown tone, often combined with iron rule-joint hinges.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut jointing, rule joints along the leaf edges, hand-carved cabriole legs terminating in pad or claw-and-ball feet, and historical surface patination.

The drop-leaf design provides convertible utility, allowing the piece to function as a compact side table or console when closed, and convert into a dining table when fully extended.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically, avoiding direct sunlight, radiators, and rapid humidity changes to protect the timber.
