This Georgian Pembroke table uses warm brown mahogany, complemented by boxwood stringing along the top and legs. A single central frieze drawer holds two circular brass ring handles alongside a central keyhole. Two hinged drop leaves expand the surface area, supported by four tapered square legs terminating in brass castors. The timber shows natural grain variations and signs of age across its surfaces. With leaves down the table measures 46 cm wide, with leaves up it measures 79 cm wide, 99 cm deep, and 74 cm tall. Such a piece suits placement at the end of a sofa or against a wall within an English Country House setting. It functions as a functional surface for lamps, books, or decorative objects while offering enclosed storage inside the drawer. The compact footprint allows the table to fit into smaller reception rooms or studies. Drop leaves provide flexibility for daily use or entertaining spaces.

FAQs

Originating in 18th-century Britain, a Pembroke table is a compact drop-leaf table equipped with folding flaps and a frieze drawer, designed for light dining, writing, or tea serving.

authentic Georgian examples typically feature dense mahogany, boxwood or satinwood stringing inlays, oak or pine secondary timbers for drawer linings, and cast brass handles and castors.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer, hand-sawn timber markings underneath, age-appropriate wear around the hinge mechanisms, and brass castors attached to tapered square legs.

A Pembroke table functions well as an end table beside a sofa, a compact bedside stand, or an entry hall console with the leaves dropped to save floor space.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically along the grain, keeping the timber clear of direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage or warping.
