View All18th Century George III Spider Leg Table Circa 1780
By Thomas Chippendale
Located in Richmond, London
A rare 18th century George III period mahogany 'Spider Leg' side table or drop-leaf table, in the manner of ‘The Dumfries House Cabinet-Maker’.
English or Scottish, circa 1780. A highly desirable and sought after model.
Why we like it
We love the elegant simplicity of this table, the unusual thinness of its components, which lend this design a very delicate look.
A number of related side tables in mahogany, attributed to ‘The Dumfries House Cabinet-Maker’, possibly Thomas Chippendale, was supplied circa 1760 to Lord Dumfries at Dumfries House, Scotland (illustrated). A further related table, distinguished by the superb quality of construction, is at Fenton House (NT 1448858).
