Circa 1840 English William IV Flame Mahogany Tilting Breakfast Table

About the Item

BRILLIANTLY FIGURED MAHOGANY TILT-TOP BREAKFAST TABLE ON ANIMAL PAWS England, William IV period circa 1840 Item # 309KMB22P A product of the William IV era, this distinguished breakfast table exemplifies the period's penchant for robust design elements and functionality. The table captures the essence of the period with its unusually bold elements and the emphasis on wood's intrinsic allure. The table features a top that can be tilted, a practical design choice intended to conserve space when entertaining guests. Its original brass mechanisms facilitate the top's rotation, showcasing the splendid book-matched veneers of crotch-cut mahogany. These veneers exhibit a vigorous and fiery grain framed by a cross-banded border that provides contrast through its textured “spooled" mahogany edge. A substantial ring-turned column with pronounced reeding supports the tabletop. The base is decorated with swirling gadrooning and branches outward over four meticulously carved animal paws, each resting on original castors. This table is not only stunningly beautiful but also continues to serve as a versatile and engaging piece for contemporary use. Measurements: 28 3/8" H (floor to surface of table) x 44 5/8" D x 61 7/8" W Condition Report: A very good presentation that is overall ready-to-place. Historic surface, not original but quite old with later polishing and remnants of original finish in crevices; as expected, nicks, dings, blemishes and abrasions from use over time; various veneer splits and cracks, some small veneer splices; feet with old restored cracks and a few open cracks in the base; original hardware.
