Circa 1760 English George III Folding Handkerchief Tuckaway Corner Table
Located in Chicago, IL
This is an elegant hand-crafted mahogany George III multifunctionality corner table. During this time, corner tables became popular, due to their multi-functional and space-saving characteristics. They easily transform into a square multi-use: tea table, card table, reading table, tea table, etc. Completely utilitarian and space-optimizing, it could be placed in any room and provide many uses. It features an isosceles triangle top with a rear drop leaf. The drop leaf, supported by a gate leg, swings out to expand into a square surface. An oval-shaped brass escutcheon on the plain frieze hints at a compartment. Indeed, opening the lock allowed the top to lift and reveal storage space. It rests on four marlborough legs, another stylistic element of the era. One can use it in a living area and store board games in the storage compartment or use it as a desk or tea table and put it away in a corner when done. Regardless of how it is used or where it is located, it will be a timeless classic of Georgian history...
