Georgian Elm Demi Lune Tea Table

About the Item

A charming late 18th century elm tea table having superbly figured fold over top retaining excellent warm colour and patina raised on square tapering legs.  This beautiful little table would most certainly have been made in the English countryside somewhere, by a keen, country woodworker trying to emulate the fine work of the exceptionally skilled cabinet maker craftsman, they had either seen, or heard about in the extremely well known workshops of the time located in the big cities. The choice of elm used is really quite wonderful, with a highly decorative, figured pattern throughout, which also retains a wonderful warm colour and patina which has bene created over hundreds of years and is impossible to simulate.  In terms of the construction it is certainly sound and solid, if a little basic but that is one of the charming features of this beautiful piece that has no doubt got some fantastic stories to share from throughout its 250 years or so life. It could be used in a while variety of places around the home for its original purpose as a tea table, or more likely just as a very elegant, attractive side or console table.  Circa 1780. Height - 28.5in. Width - 38in. Depth - 18.5in.

As suggested by the name, tea tables were made to serve tea from. Often part of a pair, with an identical matching card table, or even a wider suite of furniture they would simply stand to one side in a room and be pulled out, then opened up when required to allow for the placement of trays containing all that is required to serve tea from. Now of course aside from its original purpose this table suits a whole variety of different spaces around the home. It could be used as a console table, a pier table, a simple side table or even as a card games table. Constructed from well figured, high grade mahogany which would have been expensive to purchase in the late 18th century it is incredibly elegant and very good quality. Clearly a lot of effort has gone into the overall look of the table and the cabinet making has been well executed. The legs are quite spectacular, a design which we have actually never come across before. They are certainly something very special and, dare we say it, possibly even a unique feature, which will no doubt be a talking point once the table is standing proudly in position. As with all items which we offer for sale it has been through our workshops, where our highly skilled, traditional antique furniture...
