Antique George II Dining Table

This amazing antique dining table was hand-crafted during the reign of George II around 1760. Few genuine English antiques survive from this period, and even fewer remain in such excellent condition as this table, so this is certainly a highly unique example of fine antique furniture. Moreover, the design of the table, which is really composed of three separate tables--two side tables and a central gate leg table--is not only very novel but is also quite versatile. For instance, when not in use as a full dining table, you can use the two ends as hall or side tables and do the same for the center or you can use the central table piece as a smaller dining table. This was a common design in the Georgian period, although it has now become entirely absent from contemporary English reproductions.

Having been recently restored, the mahogany displays a deep, rich complexion and a subtle grain, both of which have grown more beautiful and distinct over the years with the development of a lovely patina. In addition to cathedral mahogany, this table also features extensive satinwood string and rosewood inlays. As was common with fine Georgian furniture, this table is finished on all sides. This means, for instance, that satinwood inlays adorn all four sides of the square tapered legs. The brass fasteners have recently been fitted to the table, as the original hardware has been lost. There is also a repaired crack as well as a few chips and scratches that are shown in the pictures in this listing. Otherwise, both cosmetic and structural condition remain excellent, especially for an antique furniture piece of such great age. This incredible George III dining table will continue to last for generations to come and would make a fantastic addition to any home!
