This 18th century Georgian mahogany tilt top table stands on a thick baluster stem with carved detailing, raised on cabriolet legs terminating in pad feet with later added casters. The circular top displays a rich warm brown tone and pronounced wood grain, tilting vertically to reveal the central mechanism. Overall dimensions are 71 cm high, 85 cm wide, and 85 cm deep when flat, with a folded height of 118 cm. Position this versatile piece against a living room wall or in a hallway as an occasional table when folded, releasing the top to use it for dining or display when space permits. The solid construction and pleasant patina suit traditional and eclectic interiors alike.

FAQs

A Georgian tilt top table, also known as a snap table or tripod table, is an 18th-century functional piece designed with a top mechanism that tilts vertically. This permitted the table to be stored flat against a wall to optimize floor space in Georgian living spaces when not in use for tea or dining.

These tables were predominantly crafted from solid timber, with mahogany being the favoured wood due to its strength and rich grain. Construction included a turned central column, tripod cabriole legs, brass or iron latches, and sometimes small brass castors at the feet.

Authentic 18th-century examples typically show hand-carved details, hand-cut dovetails under the block attachment, original brass spring catches, and natural timber shrinkage across the circular grain. Wear patterns on the legs, castors, and underside mechanism also indicate historic age.

A tilt top table can be placed upright alongside an armchair as an occasional drink table, or displayed with the top tilted vertically in a room corner to highlight the wood grain pattern as a decorative focal point.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a clean, dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year along the grain. Keep the table away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent wood movement, warping, or splitting.
