Superb Quality Late 19th Century Chippendale Style Mahogany Piecrust Tilt Top Table

1900 - 1920
Description

A late 19th century superb quality Chippendale style mahogany piecrust tilt top tea table with tripod base.

This table consists of a mahogany top of good patina (colour) with applied scallop shell and foliate carved decoration with applied piecrust decoration to the edge, the top can either be secured down or tilted up.

The top is supported by a tri-form base consisting of a turned and carved baluster column with foliate and rope twist decoration leading down to three cabriole legs with scallop shell carving to the knee and terminating with claw feet.

This type of carved tripod table became popular in the 18th century providing an example of fine carving on a domestic item.

The drinking of tea became fashionable amongst the upper classes at the beginning of the 18th century and a ‘tea table’ was used to display the best silver and china, not being covered with a table cloth like a supper table they were decorated with carving, a gallery or a pie-crust edge.

This table is in very good condition for age, is of stable construction and can go straight into a home, it is a very versatile table and could be used in a variety of settings.

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.

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 piecrust tilt-top table is a traditional occasional table featuring a raised scalloped edge resembling a pie crust, paired with a central pedestal on a tripod base and a catch mechanism allowing the top to tilt vertically.

These tables are traditionally crafted from solid mahogany, featuring hand-carved shell motifs, turned column pedestals, cabriole legs, and claw-and-ball feet secured with brass latch mechanisms.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut joinery beneath the tilting block, age-appropriate wear around the brass release mechanism, natural timber shrinkage across the circular grain, and hand-carved relief work on the rim and legs.

Position the table beside an armchair or in a reading corner, tilting the carved top vertically when not in use to serve as a decorative timber focal point.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, apply a natural beeswax polish annually along the wood grain, and keep the piece positioned away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber movement.
