This George III butler's tray and accompanying table base belong to the Georgian period, dating from around 1800. Fashioned from close-grained mahogany in a warm brown tone, the piece incorporates brass strap hinges, cutout hand holes on the curved profile sides, and square section legs joined by rounded-topped stretchers. The sides rise and fall on ratchet hinges, allowing the unit to function as either a raised-sided rectangle or an oval tray when flat. Books and a photographic publication rest upon the surface. Measuring 98 cm in width, 76 cm in depth, and 47 cm in height with the sides flat, the furniture serves effectively as a coffee table or side table in a sitting room, positioned conveniently at the end of a sofa to hold reading materials and everyday items.

FAQs

A George III butlers tray table is a functional piece of 18th-century English furniture comprising a deep wooden tray with hinged sides mounted on a supporting timber stand, originally designed for serving tea and refreshments.

These pieces are constructed from solid mahogany and feature hand-fitted brass strap hinges, pierced cutout handles, and mortise-and-tenon joinery on the supporting framework.

Authentic period examples demonstrate signs of age such as natural timber shrinkage, original brass fixings with slotted screws, hand-planed undersides, and subtle wear surrounding the hand holes.

This versatile design serves effectively as a low coffee table, drinks table, or occasional side surface placed beside seating in a living room, library, or drawing room.

Dust regularly with a dry cotton cloth and apply clear beeswax polish periodically along the wood grain. Avoid placing the table near direct heat sources or in prolonged direct sunlight.
