18th Century George I Mahogany Table of Diminutive Proportions, Circa 1725

18th century
For Sale by Alexander George Antiques Ltd. (Reserved for a buyer)
Description

A fine and rare small George I mahogany table of diminutive proportions, circa 1725. England

The top, moulded to all sides and with reentrant corners sits above a cavetto frieze fitted with a finely lined drawer raised on scrolled ear cabriole legs, carved to the knee with a shell and pendent terminating on pad feet.

The table is moulded to all four sides with four-eared cabriole legs and cavetto moulded to the back. This would suggest that the table could also be used as a centre table or silver table.

It should be noted that this is one of the smallest examples of its type and of very good colour with rich age-patinated surfaces.

Small single-drawer tables such as this are usually associated as bed-chamber tables and dressing room tables, however, they had a multitude of uses in Georgian homes and appear in inventories as parlour tables, passage tables, library tables, entrance hall tables or anteroom tables and pier tables.

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.

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

George I furniture, produced between 1714 and 1727, represents a transition from Queen Anne styles to early Georgian detailing. Characteristics include the widespread adoption of Cuban mahogany, cabriole legs, pad feet, and carved motifs on knees.

Tables from this period were primarily constructed using solid imported mahogany timber. Construction relied on hand-dovetailed joints, solid single-plank tops, and legs secured into framed aprons using wooden pegs.

Authentic 18th-century tables display hand-planed marks on unseen surfaces, timber shrinkage across the grain, and patination within carved recessed areas. Original components show slight irregularities inherent to hand tool production.

A compact 18th-century table serves as a functional side or lamp table alongside contemporary seating. Placing a simple ceramic object or modern lighting on the surface creates visual contrast between period timber and modern elements.

Keep historic mahogany away from direct sunlight, radiators, and high humidity to prevent wood movement and finish deterioration. Apply natural beeswax sparingly once per year with a soft cloth, buffing lightly in the direction of the grain.
