18th Century Mahogany Oval Pembroke Table

18th century
Description

A Very Good Quality Georgian, 18th Century, Mahogany Oval Pembroke Table, Having Well Figured Top With Two Drop Flaps And Crossbanded Decoration, Over One Frieze Drawer Opposed By One False Drawer To Reverse With Replacement Brass Handles, Raised On Elegant Square Tapered Legs And Replacement Brass Castors.

Pembroke tables became one of the most popular pieces of furniture around the mid 18th century due to their versatility and plethora of different uses. In fact George Hepplewhite himself actually described Pembroke tables as the most useful of tables and many references can be found to them in the literature of the time with people such as Jane Austen even describing them being used for dining at, or having papers kept in them for use as a writing table. There is even references to them in other literature as tables which ladies used for taking part in embroidery at.

It is certain that they are incredibly versatile even in todays world and can be used for many, many different purposes. The ability to use the two flaps to create a significant variation in the size of the table top surface is an incredibly useful and functional feature.

This particular pembroke table is stylistically typical of the late 18th century design, with the elegant square tapering legs. The timbers used are of a high grade and the overall construction is certainly very good, hence it has survived with very little damage of consequence. We think it would be the perfect, useful, functional and elegant addition to any home.

As with all our items this georgian table has been attended to by our skilled, traditional antique furniture restorers, who have ensured it is ready to be placed immediately into the home.

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

First introduced in the 18th century, the Pembroke table was named after the Countess of Pembroke. It was created as a versatile, light occasional table with two hinged drop leaves, intended for serving tea, bedside use, writing, or light meals.

These tables were typically crafted from solid and veneered mahogany, frequently decorated with boxwood or satinwood stringing. Construction features include hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, wooden fly-rail leaf supports, square tapered legs, and brass cup castors.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-carved dovetailing in the end drawers, natural wood oxidation on unvarnished drawer undersides, historical wear on the rule joints of the leaves, and original brass hardware or castors.

A Pembroke table functions well as an end-of-sofa side table, a compact hallway console, or a flexible accent piece in an entryway. The drop leaves allow it to adjust easily to narrow spaces or extend when extra surface area is required.

Position the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber warping and finish bleaching. Clean surfaces using a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically to maintain the wood patina.
