This Georgian side table dates from the eighteenth century and is constructed from elm with brass hardware, finished in a warm brown colour. The piece takes the form of a rectangular table with an overhanging top and a full-width single drawer fitted with two decorative brass drop handles and a central brass key escutcheon. The framework stands upon four tapered legs with shaped feet showing slight undulation at the base. Visible details include the prominent wood grain on the tabletop and the simple moulding along the lower edge of the frieze, alongside minor surface wear and natural variations in the timber appropriate for an antique domestic item of this age. The piece measures 71 cm high by 99 cm wide and 54 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this side table serves well beside the front door as a convenient surface for placing keys and correspondence, or functions effectively in a hallway, living room, or study where a compact storage surface is required.

FAQs

An 18th-century elm side table typically features a rectangular top, a single functional drawer, and sturdy timber joinery, reflecting the practical craftsmanship of Georgian provincial furniture.

These tables were constructed primarily from solid native elm timber, known for its figured grain, and assembled using traditional mortise and tenon joinery alongside hand-cast brass hardware.

Authentic pieces demonstrate hand-sawn timber marks, irregular hand-cut dovetail joints, historic wear around the feet, and original brass fittings displaying natural surface oxidisation.

An antique elm table functions as a hallway console, compact writing desk, or accent surface, creating visual texture when juxtaposed against contemporary neutral walls and modern lighting.

Maintain the finish by applying a high-quality beeswax polish periodically, keeping the table away from direct heat sources, and immediately wiping up moisture with a soft cloth.
