London Fine Antiques has dated this piece to the 1750s.
'Dumb waiters' were used in the 18th century as an adjunct to the dining table - being placed near the table so diners could reach for extra dishes without the requirement of a servant.
A superbly proportioned tripod cabriole base leg set rides on desirable wide inset brass castors.
A tapered and turned column provides support to a circular under-tier which benefits from a pleasing perimeter lip, and offers a useful 59cm (23.2") diameter providing ample space for display and presentation.
Tier two is supported by a further classically understated Georgian English turned column leading to the the upper tier which presents a fine solar burst central cartouche in boxwood and holly.
The piece offers great scope for a variety of uses would make a wonderful lamp, occasional or display table, and of course serves wonderfully as a dumb waiter - perfect to present morning coffee or afternoon tea.
Overall this piece of furniture is in superb order with great depth of colour displaying light fine mahogany tones.
