This George III tea table dates from the Georgian period and uses warm brown mahogany and brass. The demilune fold-over top displays eight elongated triangular flame mahogany panels framed in boxwood, forming a sunburst pattern above a frieze with a bow-fronted central drawer. A cast brass swan neck handle with an oval backplate and keyhole escutcheon decorates the drawer front. The piece stands on four square tapered legs that terminate in brass cup castors. The timber shows rich grain variation across the surfaces and veneer. Standing 73 cm high, 108 cm wide, and 53 cm deep, this console table fits beside the front door or in a hallway, drawing room, or dining space in an English Country house interior.

FAQs

A George III tea table is a piece of late eighteenth-century British furniture designed specifically for serving tea, featuring a semi-circular or rectangular folding top that rests against a wall when closed.

Georgian tea tables were typically crafted from solid timber and veneers of West Indian or Cuban mahogany, featuring hand-dovetailed drawers, oak lining, and mortise-and-tenon frame joinery.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, irregular hand-planed timber surfaces underneath, original brass hardware with natural oxidisation, and square tapered legs or turned columns typical of the period.

Place the table flush against a hallway or living room wall as a console, styling the top with a contemporary table lamp, ceramic vase, or framed artwork to create visual contrast.

Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent drying.
