Massive Antique George III 1780 Mahogany Library Table George Rex Locks

18th century
Description

Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this exquisite George III circa 1780-1800 extra large Library table writing desk with period George Rex stamped locks

Please note the delivery fee listed is just a guide, it covers within the M25 only for the UK and local Europe only for international, if you would like an accurate quote please send me your postcode and I’ll provide you with the exact price

This piece will honestly leave you speechless, firstly, it is enormous, both in width and depth, all the timber is hand carved from solid slabs of mahogany, there are brass fittings along the sides of the drawers, I'm not actually sure what they do, this piece seats 12 with ease, it breaks into three pieces for the top and the legs are all removable so it is very easy to transport and install

The top is Rexene, it is very old but perfectly usable, I can have a hand made cattle hide leather fitted should the new owner wish of any colour they like, plus tooling for the cost price. The locks have various stamps, one of which is pictured and is stamped GR Under the crown for George Rex who was a George II & George III locksmith, its also stamped Barrons Patant who were well known suppliers to Gillows of Lancaster

In terms of the condition we have cleaned waxed and polished it from top to bottom, the piece will have normal age and use related patina marks here and there

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 during the reign of King George III in late 18th-century Britain, these substantial tables were created as functional focal points for private libraries and studies. They typically feature fine mahogany construction, expansive leather-inset writing surfaces, and multiple frieze drawers designed to accommodate several users simultaneously.

Craftspeople primarily utilised solid mahogany alongside high-grade veneers, often incorporating hand-tooled leather writing surfaces. Construction featured hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, brass hardware, steel mortise locks, and turned or reeded legs fitted with castors.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-planed secondary woods such as oak or pine in drawer linings, irregular hand-cut dovetail joints, and age-appropriate wear to timber finishes. Period markings on hardware, such as GR crowned ciphers on locks, also assist in verifying authenticity.

Place the table as a central focal point in a dedicated home office, open-plan study, or large foyer to anchor the room. Pair the piece with modern lighting, neutral textiles, and contemporary leather seating to balance historic craftsmanship with clean interior lines.

Preserve timber surfaces by applying a high-grade beeswax polish along the grain annually, keeping the item away from direct heat sources to prevent wood movement. Clean leather tops with a soft cloth and apply specialised leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking.
