Since it was first introduced into Europe in the mid 18th Century through to the recent past, Mahogany remained a firm favourite for table construction. Not only does the beautiful grain really come alive once polished, but it cuts and carves well also. This carving would be less intricate than Walnut or fruitwoods because of potential chipping, but would still give the tables a unique character we prize today. During the Georgian and Victorian Eras Mahogany tables went from having very fine spindly legs (often with boxwood inlay details) to bulbous curvaceous legs carved with geometric forms and fluted columns. For card tables and breakfast tables single leg designs were most popular and for larger dining tables and library tables these were set on brass casters to allow them to be moved around with greater ease.
When purchasing antique Mahogany tables today then condition is the only factor one needs to consider. Although professional restoration does not detract from the overall price, constant daily use means older tables often need the wobbly joints detached and re-glued back which can be expensive. However, no matter if you are looking for a Mahogany drop leaf table or coffee table you can be sure that you are purchasing a top quality item which your ancestors were also proud to show off.
