This Victorian mahogany folding coaching table in the Regency style exhibits a warm brown colour with visible dark surfaces, brass hinges, and a raised tray top design. The piece features curved X-frame legs joined by a lower cross stretcher, small corner blocks, and folding mechanisms designed for practical use. The timber shows wear, including surface marks, signs of age, and past repairs. Dimensions are 71 cm high, 61 cm wide, and 62 cm deep when open, with a closed size of 89 cm tall, 61 cm wide, and 20 cm folded depth. Suitable for sympathetic restoration, this occasional table fits well in a home today at the end of a sofa or in a living space as a functional display surface. The design folds flat for easy storage when not in use, making it adaptable for compact interiors while retaining period character.

FAQs

Coaching tables were portable folding tables designed during the late 18th and 19th centuries to be collapsed and stored inside horse-drawn carriages or coaches during travel.

These tables were primarily constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany or oak, featuring hinged X-frame leg structures and brass pivots to enable seamless folding.

Authentic examples feature period-correct joinery, cross-braced X-leg mechanisms, hand-cut hinges or brass fittings, and natural signs of wear along the folding joints.

A mahogany coaching table functions effectively as an occasional side table beside an armchair, an accent surface in a hallway, or a flexible plant stand.

Clean the timber regularly with a dry lint-free cloth, apply high-quality beeswax along the wood grain, and avoid positioning the table adjacent to central heating radiators.
