Georgian 18th Century Mahogany Sofa Table
About the Item
A Very good quality late 18th century Georgian mahogany sofa table, having superbly figured two flap top bearing crossbanded decoration, over two drawers to frieze opposed by dummy drawers to reverse, raised on elegant square tablet end supports terminating on sabre legs with original brass castors.
Sofa tables were relatively common throughout the 18th and 19th centuries and as the name suggests they were originally designed to sit behind a sofa, although a common misconception
is that they were meant to butt right up against the sofa itself.
Actually they were normally designed to sit a few feet away from the sofa, hence the false drawers on reverse. That said they also look quite happy pushed right up against the back of a sofa and are such useful, versatile items of furniture.
This particular sofa table is constructed from well figured, good quality, mahogany and has real elegance, which is enhanced by the simplicity of its design. Well constructed, using high grade materials, this item has clearly been produced in a well respected workshop and due to the quality of its materials and construction it remains in excellent clean, functional condition.
As with all of our items this Mahogany sofa table has been attended to in the traditional manner at our workshops before being offered for sale, by our highly trained and skilled antique furniture restorers including a light clean and natural wax polish to ensure that it is in retail condition and ready to be placed immediately into the home or workplace.

- Small Georgian Mahogany Sofa TableLocated in Bedfordshire, GBA Very Good Quality George III Period Mahogany Sofa Table, Of Rare Diminutive Proportions, Having Well Figured Rectangular Top Having Drop Flap To Each End, Over One Long Drawer & One False Drawer To Reverse With Replacement Brass Handles, Raised On Square End Supports With Elegant High Stretcher And Four Sabre Legs Terminating On Original Brass Castors. This chamring little sofa table is of really unusual size, the kind of proportions which we have rarely come across before, but those proportions are absolutely great for both function and elegance. It is just about small enough to not dominate the centre of a room, or even to just tuck into a corner, whilst at the same time retaining a little presence. Its constructed from good quality mahogany timbers and instead of the two drawers at the front which is more commonly found on its full size counterparts it has just one elongated drawer and of course another false drawer to the reverse.
