Rare 18th Century George III Mahogany Irish Wolf Foot Tripod Table, Circa 1760

18th century
Description

A fine and possibly unique mid-18th-century George III mahogany pie-crust tripod table, Circa 1760-1770. Ireland

The solid one-piece moulded tray top is set with a fine parquetry star inlay over the solid stop-fluted column, leading to a finely carved gadrooned baluster and is raised on three cabriole legs. Each carved to the knee with a flower, sprigs of acanthus terminating in the most wonderful and unusual hairy wolf feet, raised on what appear to be the original brass casters.

It should be noted that the table is of original colour and well patented throughout with no breaks or signs of restorations. The table retains its original bearers, block and banjo latch.

Further reading:

Tripod tables of this form gained popularity in England during the reign of King George II and continued into the late 18th century. They have remained fashionable to the present day, however, the golden age for this model is from 1760-1770 when some of the very finest examples were commissioned by cabinet makers such as Thomas Chippendale and Henry Hill.

Declaration

Alexander George Antiques Ltd. has dated this Georgian Mahogany Tripod Table to the 18th Century.

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

Originating in 18th-century Britain, George III tripod tables typically feature a circular or oval top supported by a central turned pedestal resting on three cabriole legs. Designed for flexibility, many examples incorporated tilt-top mechanisms allowing them to be stored flat against a wall when not in use during tea gatherings.

High-grade dense mahogany was the preferred timber due to its strength, grain structure, and rich warm colour. Construction featured hand-dovetailed snap latches, hand-turned pedestals with fluting or acanthus leaf carving, and tripod legs joined to the central column using iron bearer plates or hand-cut dovetails.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-saw marks on the underside of the tabletop, original iron or brass snap-catch fittings, and subtle natural shrinkage of turned components over centuries. Additionally, authentic carving on the legs and feet shows uneven hand-chiselled depth rather than uniform machine carving.

Position the table beside an armchair or sofa to function as an occasional drink table, or set it in a reading corner with a modern table lamp. Its compact footprint and mahogany tones allow it to provide warm material contrast against neutral, contemporary walls.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish sparingly along the timber grain once or twice a year to preserve the historic patina. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and heating radiators to prevent the timber from warping or splitting.
