Heritage, History & Craftsmanship:
This exceptional pair of Georgian demi-lune console tables, dating to the George III period, exemplify the restrained elegance and disciplined design principles of late-18th-century English furniture. Created during a period of cultural confidence and intellectual refinement, their form reflects the classical balance and symmetry that define Georgian taste.
Each table stands on Marlborough legs, a hallmark of Georgian design, characterised by their straight, square form and understated strength. In this refined example, the legs are subtly enhanced with carved fluted detailing to the front, which continues through to the apron, lending quiet decoration without compromising the architectural clarity of the design.
The tables retain their solid mahogany construction and are finished in a later specialist distressed mottled chalky antique white, carefully layered to respect the age and structure of the pieces while enhancing their decorative appeal. The hand-painted faux marble tops, executed in soft tones of grey, beige and white, provide contrast and visual weight, evoking the look of aged stone while remaining harmonious and elegant.
Designed to be used either individually or as a pair, these tables offer exceptional versatility. When positioned together, they create a balanced sculptural statement; used separately, they serve as refined console or pier tables, framing architectural spaces with ease.
Styling Suggestions:-
• Place as a symmetrical pair in a hallway or drawing room
• Use individually as pier tables beneath mirrors or artwork
• Works beautifully in both classical interiors and pared-back contemporary spaces
• Complements stone, plaster, linen and neutral colour palettes
