Late 18th Century George III Mahogany Twin Pedestal Extending Dining Table

A handsome late 18th-century George III mahogany twin-pedestal extending dining table, crafted in fine, well-figured solid mahogany and retaining a pleasing, untouched character throughout. The top is formed from three matched sections with gently rounded corners, resting on a pair of elegant pedestals, each with a ring-turned column and finely reeded, swept legs terminating in their original brass caps and castors. The proportions are wide and well balanced, giving the table a confident stance and excellent presence. With the central leaf removed, the table forms an almost square plan, making it particularly useful as a compact dining or breakfast table while retaining excellent visual balance. When the leaf is fitted, the table extends to a comfortable six-seater dining table, suitable for everyday use or entertaining. The two pedestal ends may also be used independently as a pair of side or console tables, offering genuine versatility for both modern and period interiors. This is a completely original Georgian example, retaining its early timbers, brasswork, and surface. The top displays a rich, aged patina with numerous marks, scratches, and blemishes consistent with long use — these have been well wax-polished in and contribute to the table’s authentic period charm rather than detracting from it.
