This Georgian antique console table is fashioned from dark brown mahogany in the English Hepplewhite style, dating to circa 1790. The semi-circular top rests above a shaped frieze adorned with a raised, curved moulding along its lower edge. Four slender, tapered square legs support the structure, showing fine timber grain and a warm, aged patina across the surfaces. It measures 70.5 cm high, 101.5 cm wide, and 49.5 cm deep overall. Designed as a free-standing pier or alcove table, this piece suits placement beside a front door, in a hallway, or against a living room wall. It functions well as a surface for holding decorative items or a lamp, bringing period character to an interior.

FAQs

Originating in the late 18th century, demi-lune tables feature a semi-circular profile designed to sit flat against a wall, frequently adhering to neoclassical proportions defined by cabinetmakers like George Hepplewhite.

Cabinetmakers predominantly utilised solid mahogany and mahogany veneers, incorporating hand-sawn secondary woods like pine or oak alongside pegged joinery and hand-carved frieze details.

Authentic period furniture exhibits hand-cut joinery, irregular underside tool marks, natural timber shrinkage across the grain, and patination consistent with age.

Its shallow depth allows placement in narrow entrance hallways, stair landings, or wall alcoves, providing a focal surface beneath a artwork or wall mirror.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice per year, maintaining a stable ambient humidity to prevent timber movement.
