About the Item

This English George II walnut silver table exemplifies the quiet refinement of mid-18th century design. Crafted circa 1740, the table features a pieced and book-matched walnut top, inlaid in a subtle parquetry pattern and finished with a beautifully sculptural beveled edge. The legs curve into restrained cabrioles, each joint accented with a simple floral carving, and end in generous pad feet—hallmarks of the George II period’s graceful shift away from Baroque heaviness toward lighter, more naturalistic forms. Originally used to display prized silver services when not in use, silver tables were both functional and symbolic, speaking to a household’s taste and standing. They often sat in drawing rooms or parlors, poised to serve tea or show off a gleaming tray. This piece is a particularly elegant example: restrained but richly detailed, formal without being fussy. It captures the English balance of beauty and utility at a particularly refined moment in design history. This platform may flag this piece as priced above average—but that judgment is based on an algorithm that overlooks patina, provenance, and that certain je ne sais quoi that matters to collectors.
