George II–III Period Mahogany Tripod Supper Table - Birdcage Action - Mid 18th Century c.1760

A well-proportioned and attractive Georgian tripod supper table, with good colour, an honest surface and practical everyday usability, presented in complete and original configuration. Dating from around 1760, the table features a circular, single-piece solid mahogany top of good colour and attractive grain, mounted on a traditional box birdcage mechanism with dovetailed corner construction, allowing the top to pivot and tilt. The top is supported on an elegantly turned baluster column, raised on a tripod base with well-shaped cabriole legs terminating in rounded pad feet. Constructed throughout in solid early mahogany of excellent colour and density, this is a strong and original example of the type, displaying pleasing proportions, confident workmanship and an attractive, naturally developed surface. A versatile and useful small table, suitable for use as a supper table, occasional table or lamp table, with the tilt-top feature allowing it to be stored neatly when not in use.
