A Stunning 18th Century Georgian Mahogany Serving Table, Of Diminutive Proportions And Attractive Serpentine Form, Retaining Exceptional Rich Untouched Colour And Patina Throughout, Having Superbly Figured And Unusually Segmented Top With Central Inlaid Conch Shell Decoration, Over One Drawer And Two False Drawers With Replacement Old Brass Handles To Frieze, Inlaid Corner Spandrels And Square Tapered Legs Terminating On Spade Feet. This is a really remarkable little 18th century georgian table. It is almost impossible to put into words just how beautiful it is, the table just exudes elegance, class and sophistication. One of the rarest features is the top, which has been very deliberately designed using highly figured veneers, laid in segments designed to oppose and mirror each other, which is something we have rarely come across before but it certainly creates a highly decorative effect. In combination with the superbly thought out top there is also crossbanded decoration and inlaid corner spandrels which all further enhance the piece. These features are then all tied together with the fact that the table has managed to maintain the most spectacular colour and patina throughout, it is extremely clear that it has never in its life been stripped and repolished, or even heavily cleaned. The surface, or skin as it is known in the trade, is exactly as one would wish to find on a genuine 18th century piece of furniture and good enough to grace absolutely any collection. From a practical and functional perspective the table is also incredibly useful, especially for modern day homes. That is in no small part due to the relatively unusual size and proportion for a georgian serving table, in fact the proportions are more those for which we would normally refer a georgian pier table...
