18C Irish Georgian Mahogany Pembroke Table

About the Item

PRESENTING a GORGEOUS and early example of an 18C Irish Georgian Mahogany Pembroke Table. GORGEOUS SIMPLICITY in this Mid-18th Century, George II Period, circa 1760-80, mahogany ‘Pembroke Table’. Flamed mahogany, with fold down side leaves. The secondary woods, appear to be a combination of sycamore and ash (consistent with it being ‘Irish’ made). The central drawer has boxwood and burl ash stringing and the pair of brass pulls on the working section of the drawer appear to be the originals. Like all ‘Pembroke Tables’, it has a false drawer, on the other end. Boxwood stringing to the edges of table top and Burlwood stringing to the base.. The base and legs (excluding the drawer section) are slightly ebonized, giving a 3 tone effect to the base and drawer view. Lovely tapering legs ending with original brass castors. These are padded, fixed castors and do not rotate. Has it’s original lock, but no key. This piece was most likely, a ‘provincial Irish piece’, it is not overly inlaid or highly decorated ….. it is simple … in construction and design …. BUT …. beautiful in its simplicity! It was acquired in Ireland. It has a lovely natural patina, consistent with its age and it is QUITE RARE, because:- (1) it is an ‘Irish’ Georgian piece and (2) it is an ‘early example’ of a Pembroke table, as most you will see, are from 1790 onwards! RARE AND WITH ‘LOADS’ OF CHARACTER! Provenance: Bought at Auction in Ireland. Dimensions: 28.25 inches Tall, 34 inches Long, 20.5 inches Wide with leaves down, 28.25 inches Tall, 34 inches Long, 43 inches wide with leaves up/extended Condition: Some slight warping to the side leaves with age. Some minor professional repairs to the inlaid stringing, but otherwise, in original condition and good for it’s age. The 2 brass knobs, on the false end of the drawer, are later replacements, but of the correct style/period. Missing one swinging support lever underneath, on one side only, but still very stable with only 1 support lever. No key.

  • 18th Century Irish Georgian Cork Sideboard
    Located in Dallas, TX
    Presenting a gorgeous and very rare 18th century Irish Georgian Cork Sideboard of lovely neat proportions. Made in Ireland during the George III Era, circa 1790 and most likely made in the Southern City of Cork. A STUNNING Irish provincial piece from the Georgian Era! Made of solid mahogany, probably imported from Cuba and the secondary woods are oak (as one would expect). Beautiful dovetailing on the inside of the drawers. The ‘hints’ that this is in fact an ‘Irish’ piece are numerous. The ‘scallop shell’ on the center of the back gallery is unmistakably an Irish Georgian signature. The scalloped fans beneath either side of the central drawer are likewise an Irish signal. The shape, design and style is entirely consistent with similar pieces made in Cork at the end of the 18th Century. It has it’s original brasses which is fantastic. Lions Head Ring drawer pulls and stunning urn keyhole covers/escutheons. It has a solid gallery back splat (with central Scallop) and on both sides this ends in curved and carved scroll ends. Beneath the back splat their is a grooved plank section for holding plates etc upright. The server/counter top area is edged and banded with a carved rope style edging. The mid section consists of 3 drawers and 2 doors. The piece sits on 6 legs 4 to the front and 2 to the rear. The front legs are pillars starting at the top with an acanthus style scroll … extending down to another scroll carving directly above the reeded and fluted legs. The 2 rear legs do not have the same fluting detail. The 2 side doors open to reveal a simple one shelf storage area. One probably held a lead lined cellarette at one time. The piece is in excellent condition for it’s age and use. There are some minor aging cracks on the counter top on the left hand side. A small loss of molding to the right lower door. No original keys but we are getting replacements made. Bought in Surrey, England in 1999 by a Private Texas Collector and shipped to Texas. We have the original ‘sales invoice’ and the dealer sold it as a “Regency Mahogany Sideboard circa 1820’and told her that it was an English piece, for the sum of 3,400 GBP. Not only did the dealer not recognize the obvious ‘Irish’ signs...
