A George III Pull Out Pillar Table by Thomas Butler of London

18th century
Description

Made from well figured Cuban mahogany, the table has a movement which allows the end leaves to be pulled open and an original loose leaf inserted. The table stands on a gun barrel stem with four reeded splay legs that retain their original brass box casters. With the original engraved brass trade plate Thomas Butler of London. The quality and colour are both excellent and this is an ideal Georgian dining table where space is a premium. Circa 1785. The loose leaf measures 67cm wide and the table can of course be used without it inserted.

This George III extendable dining table dates from the eighteenth century, specifically around 1785, and is made by Thomas Butler of London. The structure is constructed from Cuban mahogany with flame mahogany veneer displaying a warm brown colour, resting on a central gun barrel stem with four reeded splayed legs finished with original brass box castors. The ends pull open to allow an original loose leaf insert. The table measures 72 cm high, 190 cm wide, and 138 cm deep, making it suited for family dining rooms and formal entertaining spaces where an adjustable footprint is beneficial. The top showcases distinct rich grain figures, while the underside houses an original engraved brass trade plate bearing the maker's details. The design allows the surface area to be modified depending on whether the loose leaf is included or removed, providing versatility for everyday meals and larger gatherings. The combination of traditional craftsmanship and functional mechanics suits classic domestic interiors, pairing well with antique dining chairs.

FAQs

A George III pull-out pillar table is a late 18th to early 19th-century dining table featuring a central column support with splayed legs and a telescopic mechanical frame that expands to accommodate additional leaf inserts.

These tables were primarily constructed using solid and veneered mahogany, often featuring flame mahogany top panels, oak or pine internal runners, and cast brass castors on the foot terminations.

Authentic period pieces often feature stamped brass latches, hand-cut dovetail joints on structural framework, original brass castors secured with square-headed screws, and occasionally stamped maker brass plaques near the sliding runners.

Combine the dark timber table top with contemporary dining chairs, minimalist pendant lighting, or neutral linen upholstery to balance the historical timber hues with modern textures.

Dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, apply beeswax polish along the wood grain twice yearly, and protect the surface from direct sunlight, excess humidity, and hot cookware.
