This George II tilt-top table dates from the 18th century, representing Irish cabinet-making of the period in a warm brown walnut timber with a gently worn and lightly waxed finish. The circular top rests on a spiral-twisted stem above three carved cabriole legs decorated with acanthus leaf motifs, terminating in claw and ball feet. Surface wear includes natural grain patterns and a time-worn patina across the timber. The table measures 70 cm high, 75 cm wide and 75 cm deep. Practical for everyday use in a home today, this freestanding table suits placement in an empty corner, drawing room or hallway. The tilting mechanism provides versatility for display or compact storage when not in use.

FAQs

George II furniture, dating from 1727 to 1760, is characterised by refined proportions, elaborate hand carvings such as acanthus foliage and claw and ball feet, and the extensive use of walnut and mahogany.

Eighteenth-century tripod tables were predominantly constructed from solid walnut or mahogany, featuring hand-turned pedestal shafts, dovetail joinery beneath the tilting top, and hand-forged iron or brass catch mechanisms.

Authentic 18th-century examples display hand-sawn timber marks on the underside, asymmetrical wear patterns on the carved feet, hand-worked iron latches, and natural grain shrinkage across the circular top.

A tilt-top table can be placed beside an armchair as a functional occasional table, or tilted vertically against a wall to highlight the grain and decorative carving as a focal piece.

Dust the timber surface regularly with a soft dry cloth, apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year along the grain, and position the table away from direct heat sources to prevent wood movement.
