Georgian 18th Century Mahogany Drop Flap Side Table

18th century
Description

A Very Good Quality Mid 18th Century, Georgian, Chippendale Period. Mahogany Side Table Having Well Figured Rectangular Top With Unusual Hinged Drop Flap To Back, Over One Long Frieze Drawer Retaining Original Brass Open Plate Handle, Raised On Four Square Chamfered Legs With Attractive Carved And Moulded Decoration, Retaining Exceptional Rich Colour And Patina Throughout.

This rather lovely little 18th century side table has a few additional features which lift it above the norm for the period. The first and most obvious of those is of course the hinged drop flap to the back. This is something which is both incredibly unusual, but at the same time incredibly useful, allowing you to near enough double the available table top space when utilised.

The table is also constructed from very good quality, solid mahogany timbers which have retained their colour and gained good patina over the many years of its life. It is both incredibly functional due to the solidity of its timbers and construction, whilst at the same time being incredibly beautiful and elegant to look at. The attractive decoration to the legs is yet another unusual feature which really lifts the table.

As with all items we offer for sale it has received an inspection and natural wax polish from our highly skilled, traditional antique furniture restorers before being offered for sale, meaning that it is ready for immediate placement into the home or office.

Circa 1760.

Height 27.75in.

Width 33.75in.

Depth 17.5in.

Depth 33.25in. (flap up)

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

Georgian side tables produced during the 18th century are characterised by classical proportions, symmetrical designs, and refined woodwork. Often crafted from solid mahogany, these pieces frequently incorporated functional features such as drop flaps or drawers to serve versatile roles in formal living spaces.

High-grade mahogany was the primary timber utilised for Georgian tables, valued for its stability and deep grain. Hand-cut dovetail joints, solid oak or pine drawer linings, and cast brass hardware are standard construction hallmarks of this period.

Authentic 18th-century pieces display signs of historical craftsmanship, including slightly irregular hand-sawn dovetails, hand-planed underside surfaces, and original brass fittings. The timber should exhibit natural surface oxidisation and age-appropriate wear around the feet and hinges.

A Georgian mahogany side table functions effectively as a hallway console, an occasional desk, or a sofa side table in contemporary spaces. Pairing the warm mahogany tone with simple ceramic lamps or contemporary artwork creates a balanced accent piece.

Keep the table away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber movement or surface fading. Regular dusting with a soft cloth and periodic application of beeswax polish will preserve the original finish and wood patina.
