A 19th Century Mahogany Tilt-top Tripod Table

A 19th Century Mahogany Tilt-Top Tripod Table. c1860

A charming early 19th-century mahogany tilt-top occasional table, retaining a wonderfully rich, dark colour and attractive aged patina.

The circular, planked top displays a pleasing depth of colour, with the natural grain of the timber and evidence of many years of use adding considerably to its character.

Raised on an elegant turned baluster pedestal, terminating in three boldly shaped cabriole legs with out-swept feet, giving the table a particularly attractive and well-balanced silhouette.

The original-style tilt-top mechanism allows the top to be raised vertically when not in use, making this a practical and versatile piece of occasional furniture.

Of pleasingly modest proportions, this table would work equally well beside an armchair, in a drawing room, library or entrance hall, complementing both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Condition: Good antique country-house condition, small surface wear and a particularly attractive, time-worn patina, all consistent with its age and use.
