Dealers Notes

I have been established as a dealer and antique furniture restorer for almost 20 years.

I have a real love and passion of fine 18th and early 19th century furniture.

As a professional restorer I am always searching for the finest quality and original items but should any restoration be nessesary it will be sympathetically and skilfully carried out in house by myself.

If items are purchased with buy now option I shall do my very best to work with my courier to offer free delivery within most of UK mainland. (Some exclusions to locations may apply)

It has been noted that the system is rounding up measurements added in cm to the next nearest inch so if dimensions are critical for a particular space please work by the cm size listed of please ask.

This Georgian mahogany drop-leaf side table of small proportions dates from the mid 18th century. It exhibits a warm brown timber colour with a polished finish and a patinated surface, supported on square legs with inner chambered edges, brass squat castors, and turned cross stretchers. The frieze drawer is fully pulled open to display an internal compartmentalised insert lined with brown fabric, and retains its original brass swan neck handle. The drop leaves flank the main top panel, which measures 87 cm high by 60 cm wide by 75 cm deep. Suitable for use at the end of a sofa in a living room, this compact piece provides both surface space and a convenient storage drawer for small items. The understated English Country House style integrates well into traditional and period interiors, functioning as a practical side table next to seating or as a standalone accent piece in a study, hallway, or drawing room.

FAQs

Originating in the Georgian era, drop-leaf tables feature hinged leaves that fold down when not in use, offering flexible surface area for smaller living spaces.

High-grade solid mahogany was the predominant timber used, often accented with brass handles, brass castors, and hand-dovetailed drawer construction.

Look for hand-cut dovetail joints inside the drawers, original brass hardware with authentic patination, hand-planed underside surfaces, and period-appropriate castors.

Position the table as an accent piece beside a sofa or in an entryway, using the drop leaves to adjust the footprint while displaying decorative objects on top.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth, apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year, and keep the piece away from direct heat sources and moisture.
