This Georgian Pembroke table is made from rich warm brown mahogany with satinwood inlay, brass hardware, and a polished finish.

Measuring 71 cm high, 58 cm wide, and 75 cm deep, this functional item works well placed at the end of a sofa in a living room or sitting area to provide surface space and storage.

FAQs

Introduced in Britain during the mid-to-late eighteenth century, the Pembroke table was designed as a versatile occasional table with drop leaves. Named traditionally after the Countess of Pembroke who first commissioned the form, it was intended for dining, tea service, or bedside use in Georgian homes.

High-quality Cuban or West Indian mahogany was the primary wood used for these tables due to its dense grain and rich tone. Secondary woods like pine or oak were used for drawer linings, while decorative features often incorporated satinwood marquetry inlays and cast brass handles.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, hand-sawn secondary timber linings, and period-correct brass hardware. Look for natural oxidation on the undersides of the leaves and hand-carved details such as fretwork corner brackets or turned legs.

Due to its compact footprint and drop-leaf versatility, a Pembroke table functions effectively as a side table flanking a modern sofa, a bedside table, or an entryway console. Extending one or both leaves allows the table to accommodate lamps, books, or decorative displays.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry cotton cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year to maintain the wood finish. Position the table away from direct sunlight, radiators, or sudden humidity changes to prevent the timber from warping or splitting.
