Fine English 18th Century George III Neoclassical Mahogany Serpentine Tea Table

About the Item

A very fine George III hepplewhite period serpentine mahogany tea table in the neoclassical taste, English, circa 1775. The well figured fold-over twin-gateleg action serpentine-shaped top with moulded edge, over a shaped and carved 'Antique'-fluted frieze, raised on four square cut and chamfered finely beaded legs. The table is designed in the neoclassical or Roman fashion, promoted by such prominent tastemakers of the era as Robert Adam, James Wyatt and George Hepplewhite. Its finely curved serpentine outline, as well as the use of 'Antique'-fluted frieze and beaded decoration, echoes the style of the London firm of William Ince and John Mayhew of Soho, subscribers to the Thomas Chippendale's Director and authors of ‘The Universal System of Household Furniture’ (c.1762). A number of documented pieces by Ince and Mayhew, having the distinctive carved fluted frieze, can be found at Burghley House, Lincolnshire. They are first recorded as partners in December 1758, advertising from an address at Broad Street in January 1759. In 1763 they were described as 'cabinet-makers, carvers and upholders', and in 1778 'manufacturers of plate glass' appeared on their bill heading. From 1780s the categories of 'cabinet maker' and upholsterer predominate, reflecting the change in taste from carved to veneered and inlaid furniture, which was more fashionable. The partnership was quick to embrace these new forms as is shown by their own work and their involvement with Robert Adam himself in making furniture to his own designs for many of his important clients. Mayhew and Ince worked for many important patrons who included the Prince of Wales, 5th Duke of Devonshire, 5th Duke of Bedford and 1st Duke of Northumberland. Fabulous warm honey colour and superb patina, well-figured interior. Original surface, virtually untouched condition. Dimensions: Height: 28.5 in / 71 cm Width: 35.5 in / 90 cm Depth: 17.25 in / 44 cm Depth (open): 35.5 in / 90 cm.

18th 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). Thomas Chippendale supplied ‘Two neat Mahogany Spider leg Tables...
