Antique Georgian Mahogany Tripod Table | 18th Century

18th century
For Sale by ActFurniture LTD
Description

Antique 18th century Georgian tripod table in mahogany, a handsome and well-proportioned piece of good quality, showcasing fine craftsmanship and classic period lines.

The circular top is a single board of mahogany with a moulded edge and tilts on its block, secured by its brass catch, so the table can stand neatly against a wall when not in use. The underside shows the original cleats.

The top is raised on a baluster-turned column with ring turnings, over a tripod base of three elegant cabriole legs ending in pad feet.

The mahogany displays a lovely figured grain and a rich, deep colour with a wonderful aged patina, with marks and stains to the top consistent with its age and use.

Presented in good condition commensurate with age. A very desirable Georgian tilt-top table, ideal as a breakfast, tea or occasional table, and a perfect addition to any living room, hallway or dining room.

Legs dovetailed into the turned central pillar: standard 18th-century tripod joinery.

This 18th-century Georgian side table is made from dark brown mahogany with a rich, deep colour, a figured grain, and an aged patina marked by stains on the circular tilt-top surface. The circular top features a moulded edge and tilts on a block, held by a brass catch, with original cleats visible on the underside. It rests on a turned baluster central column with ring turnings, above three cabriole legs that terminate in pad feet. The table stands 71 cm high, 77 cm wide, and 78 cm deep. It functions as a breakfast, tea, or occasional table, and fits naturally at the end of a sofa or in a living room, hallway, or dining room in a home today.

Georgian tripod tables typically feature a central turned column supported by three splayed cabriole legs terminating in pad or claw-and-ball feet. Many models incorporate a tilt-top mechanism that enables the circular or square surface to fold vertically when not in use.

Dense West Indian or Cuban mahogany was the primary wood used for high-end Georgian furniture due to its durability, rich figure, and ability to hold fine carving. Oak or pine was occasionally used for secondary internal structures or catch blocks.

Authentic pieces display hand-turned columns with subtle irregularities, hand-cut iron or brass tilt latches, and hand-planed tops that may have shrunk slightly across the grain over time, creating a mildly oval shape rather than a perfect circle.

Position the table beside an armchair or sofa as an accent surface for lighting or books. Its slim profile and dark timber contrast effectively against neutral, contemporary backdrops while adding historical depth.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish twice a year to preserve the timber. Keep the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking and finish deterioration.
