This late 19th century mahogany demi lune tea table follows an early Georgian design. The dark brown timber surfaces show a polished finish with a distinctive grain, complemented by a curved fold-over top, a plain straight apron, and a gate-leg mechanism supporting the back section. Slender tapered legs descend to rounded pad feet, and a small keyhole is visible on the front frieze. The dimensions measure 73 cm high, 51 cm wide, and 25 cm deep. Positioned beside the front door, this console table provides a practical surface in a hallway, entryway, or living space. The compact footprint allows placement in narrow corridors or against feature walls for holding keys, mail, or decorative items, bringing traditional English country house character to interior arrangements.

FAQs

A demi-lune table is a semi-circular table designed to sit flush against a wall. Originating in eighteenth-century Europe, the term derives from the French phrase for half-moon, describing its distinctive curved silhouette.

Georgian demi-lune tables were predominantly constructed from dense hardwoods such as Cuban mahogany, walnut, or satinwood. Joints were traditionally secured using hand-cut dovetails and wooden dowels, often finished with brass hinges on fold-over models.

Authentic period tables display signs of hand craftsmanship, such as irregular hand-sawn timber marks underneath, original brass rule-joint hinges, hand-cut joinery, and natural timber shrinkage across the grain over time.

A demi-lune table functions well in narrow spaces such as hallways, foyers, or stair landings. Modern styling often pairs the warm timber with contemporary framed artwork positioned directly above, or a single table lamp positioned centrally.

Maintain mahogany by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight, radiators, and extreme fluctuations in atmospheric moisture to prevent timber movement.
