Description

A particularly fine George III Period Mahogany, crossbanded and inlaid butterfly shaped serpentine Pembroke Table with a drawer at each end flanked by inlaid rosewood ovals and raised on square section tapered, fluted and stop fluted legs terminating in block feet with brass cups and leather barrel castors.

Circa: 1775

Price :£ 3,750-00p.

Height: 30”, 75 cms, Width (open): 40”, 100 cms, Width (closed): 20.8”, 52 cms, Depth: 30.4”, 76 cms.

Note: The form, decoration and details like the legs are typical of the later Chippendale Period particularly with the fluting and stop fluting. The Rosewood crossbanding and oval Inlays are hints towards the neoclassical work of the Adams brothers. The serpentine or butterfly shape of this example would have been more expensive for the cabinetmaker to produce.

FAQs

A Pembroke table is a form of small drop-leaf table characterised by two hinged flaps on either side and typically a single drawer, popular during the 18th and 19th centuries.

These tables were predominantly constructed from solid timber frames with figured veneers, most commonly mahogany, often accented with satinwood stringing, boxwood inlay, and brass hardware.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-correct joinery such as hand-cut dovetails in the drawer construction, authentic timber ageing characteristics, secondary woods consistent with the era, and period brass castors.

A Pembroke table functions well as a versatile accent piece or writing surface, placed against a wall or with its leaves dropped to fit compactly in smaller living spaces.

Maintain antique mahogany by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting, and clean periodically with a soft cloth and quality beeswax.
