Georgian Oak Tilt Top Birdcage Table

18th century
Description

A lovely Georgian mahogany tilt-top occasional table dating from the late 18th / early 19th Century. It has a circular planked oak top standing on a baluster turned support with tripod splayed legs. The top rotates on a bird-cage mechanism with a wooden wedge and it also tilts.

It is in good condition for its age and is strong and sturdy. The table has a lovely rich colour with a good level top, strong catch and smooth tilting mechanism. There are some signs of age and use, a few small surface marks, old stains and light knocks but nothing detrimental and there are no major damages. There are some minor signs of old worm which has all been treated as a precaution and it displays well. It has been gently cleaned and polished and is ready for use.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

FAQs

A Georgian tilt-top birdcage table is an 18th-century occasional table featuring a hinged block mechanism that allows the circular top to tilt vertically and rotate 360 degrees upon a central pedestal stem.

These tables were constructed from solid hardwoods such as native oak, mahogany, or walnut, featuring hand-turned pedestals, hand-cut dovetail joints beneath the legs, and forged iron latches.

Authentic period examples display uneven hand-planed timber undersides, hand-cut iron catches, natural timber shrinkage causing slight oval distortion to the top, and wrought joinery marks.

A Georgian tripod table functions as a functional side table placed beside a modern armchair, inside a window bay, or positioned as a decorative plant stand in an alcove.

Preserve the natural timber patina by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying clear beeswax sparingly once or twice a year, avoiding placement near radiators or direct heat.
