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.

This George III mahogany sofa table dates from the Georgian period and follows the English Country House style. The piece uses warm brown mahogany, satinwood, and brass materials with a polished finish. The rectangular top features drop leaves with rounded corners, crossbanded with satinwood and contained within boxwood and rosewood stringing. Two drawers sit in the frieze with gilt brass drop handles and keyholes, positioned above twin reeded pedestal legs that sweep downwards into brass castors. Visible details include carved fluting on the pedestal columns, a well-figured timber grain, and cedar linings within the drawers. The table measures 71.5 cm high, 56 cm wide, and 56 cm deep. Placement suits rooms in an English Country House setting, positioned traditionally at the back of a sofa or against a wall. The compact footprint and drop-leaf design allow the surface area to expand when needed for displaying decorative items, holding small lamps, or serving refreshments. The down-swept legs and brass castors enable easy repositioning across floor surfaces. Natural warmth from the timber tones integrates easily into traditional and transitional living spaces, libraries, or studies.

FAQs

Originating in the late 18th century during the Georgian period, a sofa table is a long, narrow occasional table designed to stand behind a sofa for writing, reading, or holding lamps and tea trays.

George III sofa tables were predominantly constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, often decorated with satinwood, rosewood, or ebony crossbanding, along with solid brass hardware and castors.

Authentic 18th-century pieces typically feature hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers, oak or pine secondary woods, original brass castors, and natural age-related patination across the timber surfaces.

Place the table against the back of a free-standing sofa or along a narrow hallway to function as a console, adorned with table lamps, framed artwork, or decorative ceramics.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax sparingly once or twice a year, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to protect the wood veneers.
