A Georgian Serpentine Fronted Side Table with Writing and Dressing Fitment

This rare and superb quality 18th century George III serpentine fronted side table is most unusual having a large fitted drawer for writing and dressing. The shaped top is serpentined on the front and sides and finished with a moulded edge and is made from a fabulous single piece of figured mahogany. Below, there is large fitted drawer that pulls out and is self-supporting on sliding stays. There is a finely tooled leather writing surface with a cross banded edge that can be pushed back to reveal a fully fitted interior with a central adjustable mirror and an assortment of lidded containers and compartments for personal items. Below there is a shaped kneehole with a smaller drawer to each side all of which are veneered vertically in figured flame mahogany and all have original handles and locks. This very elegant and most useful table stands on six square tapered legs with moulded spade feet. This rare piece is in excellent condition and retains a fine colour and beautifully patinated original surfaces.

Circa 1780

After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.
