Description:

This is a decorative antique English Georgian Pembroke table, constructed of solid mahogany, with drop-leaves and a single drawer, circa 1820, in good condition.

The Georgian side table is constructed from solid mahogany and boasts a stunning grain configuration to the top. During this period, England was importing good quality timber from around the world.  The dop-leaf table is constructed with two elegant drop leaves either side. The leaves can be raised to widen the table. The original wooden hinged bearers / flaps underneath the tabletop support the drop leaves. The Georgian Pembroke table incorporates a working drawer at one side, decorated with cock-beading, a brass swan neck handle and a working lock and key.  On the other side of the table is a decorative dummy drawer.  The drawer is pine lined, with hand-dovetail joints; it runs smoothly and closes flush to the frame. The mahogany table stands on four sturdy ring-turned legs.  This is a useful small multi-functional antique table, suitable as an occasional, lamp, or side table around the home.

This style of table was possibly named after the Earl or Countess of Pembroke and the smaller versions were defined as a portable item. Interestingly, it was often used for bedside meals. It was characteristic of Georgian, Neoclassical and Federal styles, including those of Chippendale, Sheraton and Hepplewhite. It was known as one of the most useful but fashionable shapes for an antique table of its age.

The Georgian Pembroke table has a rich mahogany brown colour. As it boasts the original polish, it has a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.

This occasional table would look superb in a variety of rooms from the hallway, to the living room or bedroom.  This item would certainly grace any home. So don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture.

Condition Report:

This is a decorative antique English Georgian Pembroke table, constructed of solid mahogany, with drop-leaves and a single drawer, circa 1820, in good condition.  Nominal old use marks to the leading edges and hinge areas, but nothing significant considering the age of the item (please see photos).  The table has been cleaned and French polished by hand to a professional standard, in our workshop, therefore the colour and patination is of an excellent standard.  The leaf hinges are original and are in good working order, as well as the wooden flaps / bearers. The drawer incorporates a working lock and key. The drawer is hand dovetailed, pine-lined, runs smoothly and closes flush to the frame. The legs are original; there has been a historical repair to one of the legs (which is secure and solid in joint).  This drop-leaf dining table is well constructed, solid in joint and is ready to use.
