George III Egyptian Revival Plum Pudding Mahogany Supper Table

18th century
Description

An outstanding 18th Century Egyptian revival supper table with ebony inlaid chamfered top and frieze drawers. The drawers are flanked by gilt brass Egyptian mask head and drop ring mounts to each corner. The table is raised on twin tapering pillars, hipped and splayed legs, terminating with lion paw feet and under castors. The pillars and legs are also ebony inlaid. Nelson's victory at the Battle of the Nile in 1798 ignited a great interest in Egyptian art and furniture design. The designs of Thomas Hope were a major influence in this movement and this table is in the manner of his work. The table is in excellent condition with a superb colour and patina. A fine, high quality plum pudding mahogany table, easy to place as a side/hall table or as a small dining table.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Emerging in the late 18th and early 19th centuries following European expeditions to Egypt, this style incorporates motifs such as sphinxes, lion masks, pharaoh heads, and claw feet into traditional English cabinetmaking forms.

Cabinetmakers during this period primarily utilised solid mahogany and highly figured veneers, such as plum pudding or flame mahogany, paired with cast brass mounts, castors, and contrasting wood stringing or inlays.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints inside drawers, natural timber shrinkage along grain lines, hand-chased brass hardware displaying age-related oxidisation, and original wooden or brass castors.

A drop-leaf table functions flexibly in modern settings as an accent side table, a compact hallway piece, or a flexible occasional table positioned adjacent to contemporary upholstered seating.

Maintain mahogany surfaces by dusting with a dry microfiber cloth and applying a natural beeswax polish annually, while keeping the item away from direct sunlight, radiators, and fluctuations in humidity.
