This Georgian side table takes the form of a butler tray on a stand, dating from the late 1700s. The piece comprises a dark brown mahogany timber construction with brass flush hinges, cut-out handholds on the raised tray sides, and a folding X-frame base. The wood shows visible surface scratches and minor marks from age and use. Measuring 80 cm high, 65 cm wide, and 80 cm deep, the table provides a practical surface for everyday items. In a contemporary home, this English country house style side table suits placement at the end of a sofa in a living room, or as a portable serving table in a dining space. The folding design allows for convenient storage or repositioning when needed, whilst the traditional materials integrate easily into both period and eclectic interior schemes.

FAQs

Originating in 18th-century Britain, a butler tray on stand is a portable serving tray with gallery edges mounted onto a matching, often folding, wooden X-frame base.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from dense mahogany or oak, featuring hand-dovetailed joinery, brass flush hinges, and cut-out handholds along the hinged side galleries.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut joinery, original brass hardware with hand-cut threads, unrefined underside tooling marks, and natural timber shrinkage along the grain.

A butler tray on stand functions as a versatile side table, home bar station, or bedside table in contemporary living spaces and dining rooms.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish annually, keeping the timber away from direct heat sources and extreme moisture.
