Antique George III Mahogany Piecrust Tilt Top Dining Centre Table

A superb quality antique George III mahogany piecrust tilt top dining centre table dating to circa 1780. The beautifully figured solid mahogany circular top has an elegant moulded piecrust edge and a rich warm colour, with the top tilting vertically when not in use.

The table is raised on a substantial turned central column with finely carved acanthus decoration above an impressive tripod base. The three sweeping cabriole legs are beautifully carved and terminate in claw and ball feet, giving the table excellent proportions and a strong sculptural presence.

Its generous 89 cm diameter makes this a particularly versatile piece. It works beautifully as a small four-seater dining table or breakfast table, while also being ideal as a centre table, occasional table or statement lamp table.

A very handsome example of late 18th century English cabinetmaking, combining practical design with excellent craftsmanship, strong proportions and beautifully carved detail.
