Elegant Late 18th-Century George III Mahogany Marquetry Drop-Leaf Dining Table

A handsome late 18th-century George III period mahogany drop-leaf dining table, retaining its original, beautifully shaped, figured solid tops. The rectangular top has drop leaves on either side, outlined with fine satinwood marquetry stringing, providing excellent versatility for both everyday use and entertaining. The leaves are supported by sturdy hinged gate cabriole legs with pad feet, ensuring stability and ease of use. The rich colour and enticing patina give the piece a timeless allure, adding depth and character to any room.
Over time, the mahogany has developed a wonderful depth of colour that accentuates the warmth and figure of the timber, a hallmark of furniture from this era. Georgian pieces are highly prized for their superior cabinetmaking, classic proportions and exquisite choice of materials, and this table is no exception.
This dining table is not only a testament to exceptional Georgian craftsmanship but also a striking centrepiece for any home that values history, quality and understated elegance.
