18th Century Georgian Kettle Stand or Wine Table, circa 1750

About the Item

An exquisite 18th century George II kettle stand or wine table in the Chippendale 'French' taste. England, circa 1760. Why We Like It We love its superbly drawn outline and the exquisitely carved detail; the mellow, honey colour is most excellent. History Tripod tables and kettle stands were primarily made for holding tea and coffee paraphernalia. Tea had been introduced into this country, from Holland, in the early 17th century and in spite of the high prices and heavy duty imposed, it gradually became a fashionable drink and tea-drinking a fashionable pastime. Towards the middle of the 18th century, there was a shift from the former fashion of drinking in tea gardens to drinking at home. Consequently, cabinet-makers turned their attention to the making of suitable ornamental tables. William Ince and John Mayhew illustrated designs for 'Tea Kettle Stands' in their The Universal System of Household Furniture, 1762, as did Thomas Chippendale in his The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, London, 3rd ed., 1762, p. LV.
