A beautiful late Georgian mahogany work table, dating to the early 19th century, circa 1800–1820.

The table has an elegant, finely proportioned design, with a richly figured mahogany top, two drop leaves and four slender, outward-sweeping legs terminating in brass castors. A decorative Greek key inlay runs around the upper sections of the legs, adding a subtle neoclassical detail.

A single lockable drawer sits beneath the tabletop, retaining its key and a fitted interior with various compartments, originally intended for storing sewing accessories and other small items. The interior also retains a section of old patterned fabric lining.

The drop leaves allow the table to be used with a larger surface when required, while keeping its proportions compact when folded down.

Presented in lovely antique condition, with a rich, warm colour and attractive patina throughout. There are minor marks and signs of wear consistent with its age, adding to the character of the piece.

Originally designed as a sewing or work table, it would also make a beautiful occasional table, side table or bedside table.
