This George III sofa table comes from the Regency period and is fashioned from dark brown rosewood with decorative light wood stringing around the drawer front and top edge. The rectangular top has drop flaps on either side, and the single frieze drawer is fitted with two star-shaped brass handles. Twin upright supports rise from splayed legs that terminate in brass castors. Visible details include rich figuring in the timber grain and fine marquetry inlay along the drawer border and pedestal bases. Measuring 73 cm high, 86 cm wide, and 56 cm deep, the table suits placement behind a sofa or against a wall in a living room or study to hold lamps, books, or decorative items.

FAQs

Originating in the late 18th century, a sofa table is a long, narrow drop-leaf table designed to be placed behind a sofa or against a wall, typically featuring drawers for storing writing or needlework materials.

Georgian craftsmen frequently utilised rich timber veneers such as rosewood, mahogany, and satinwood, often decorated with delicate fine wood stringing and fitted with solid brass handles and castors.

Authentic pieces generally display hand-dovetailed drawer joints, period-correct brass hardware, authentic wear around the drop-flap hinges, and natural shrinkage lines inherent to antique veneers.

Position the table directly behind a sofa to display table lamps and books, or place it along a hallway wall as a compact console table.

Keep the timber away from direct sunlight and heat sources to protect the veneer, dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year.
