Description

A magnificent and early tripod table in beautifully burnished oak. Single piece oval top which is unusually thick chamfered at the edge to imply lightness, bird cage action allowing the top to rotate. Large superbly turned baluster stem with well drawn swept legs. Having run out of superlatives it only remains for me to say that this remarkable table is as good as I have seen, proportion, colour, condition and patina are outstanding.

English. circa 1670

Height 68.5 cm ( 27”)

Width 77 cm ( 30 1/4”)

Depth 67 cm (26 1/4’)

FAQs

A tripod table is a three-legged occasional table popularised during the eighteenth century, featuring a turned central column and a circular or shaped top designed to support tea service or lighting.

Early tripod tables were constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak or mahogany using hand-cut dovetail cleats and mortise-and-tenon joints, often incorporating a block or birdcage mechanism allowing the top to tilt.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-turned central shafts, hand-sawn undersides, original wrought iron or wooden catches, and slight oval warping on the circular top due to natural timber shrinkage over time.

Position the table alongside a contemporary sofa or accent armchair as an occasional drink stand to introduce historical timber tones alongside modern soft furnishings.

Maintain the timber by keeping it away from direct radiators and moist environments, dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying clear beeswax polish along the grain annually.
