English Regency Mahogany Tilt-Top Breakfast Dining Table, 19th Century

About the Item

This fine antique breakfast table features a wonderful well patinated dark mahogany surface under many layers of later wax, the mellow hues very attractive on the solid mahogany top. An old and dense tree was used for this table top, the whole surface shaped from two planks to span the total depth of 36 1/4" - the first board is 31 1/4" wide, the second 5". The edge of the table top is reeded of the solid, completing the design of the top with clean lines that flow harmoniously with that of the legs. It is a tilting top, allowing it to be stored easily, usually in the corner of a room in a way that is visually delightful, the third leg pointing into the corner with the board facing the room. A stretched frame beneath the table forms a box of the crossbars, locking together using through-tenon joinery. Original screws lock this undisturbed frame to the underside of the table, holding the wooden dowels from the pedestal inside for a smooth rotation. Original undisturbed brass catch hardware remains functional beneath the table to lock the table in a rested position. The base of the pedestal is oak over pine, with the pedestal tenoned through both, the front with a pair of original brass receivers with what appear to be original screws. A wonderful turned pedestal of solid mahogany is designed with a short shaft over three tight turned rings over baluster turnings before flowing into sabre-legs. Each leg is capped with brass hardware, each with original screws over large original caster wheels. The legs of the table are locked in place with a Y bracket, flowing along each leg and into the center to give a high pressure joint flawless strength even 200 years after introduction. A precious table for anyone passionate about period antiques looking for a well preserved table for a small breakfast nook or sitting room. Measurements: 36 1/4" deep x 46 5/8" wide x 28" high (in rested or table position); 56" high in tilted position Condition Report: Finish deep and dark, brought to life with a black wax under later layers of clear wax; top has numerous oxidized scars and impressions from years of use; two areas of discoloration to the top from over cleaning and possibly an object sitting on the table. Entirely original hardware throughout, from the feet caps, the caster wheels, the Y bracket and all screws for the bracket, tiny brass catches and large brass release - most screws are original with some replacements. Top crossbars undisturbed with original screws. Inactive pest damage to square pedestal head. Structurally incredibly stable and sturdy, fully functional.
