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.

FAQs

A George III breakfast table typically features an oval or rectangular mahogany top attached to a central pedestal column with a catch mechanism. Designed in late 18th-century Britain, these tables allowed the top to tilt vertically, permitting convenient storage against a wall when not in use.

Primary construction utilised solid wood and veneers of West Indian or Cuban mahogany, celebrated for density and rich grain patterns. Decorative borders often incorporated crossbanding in satinwood or rosewood, while brass was used for the tilt catch, caps, and castors.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut joinery, original brass release catches underneath the top, and age-consistent wear to the timber finish and castors. The underside of the top often reveals hand-sawn timber marks and secondary woods like pine or oak used for the block support.

When not in use for dining, the table top can be tilted vertically to act as a decorative backdrop in an entryway or living space, displaying the natural timber figure. When lowered, it serves as a functional four-to-six-person dining table that pairs easily with modern or classic seating.

Maintain the finish by applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, buffing gently with a soft microfibre cloth. Position the table away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent uneven fading or timber shrinkage.
