Description:

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY AND SATINWOOD-BANDED SERVING TABLE
Circa 1780

Rectangular with a serpentine front, the top with moulded edge and cross-banded in satinwood mounted with a brass curtain rail to the rear above a pair of frieze drawers, raised on square supports, those to the front moulded
132cm high (to the tops of the rail supports), 138cm wide, 69cm deep

  • Condition: Generally well presented consistent with age and use, with occasional light, superficial scratches and marks scattered throughout; probably, previously lightly restored.

    Towards each end of the right side frieze there are vertical cracks / splits in the veneer caused by stresses on the underlying joint between the frieze and the leg; there is a little movement in the right rear leg joint, but with no effect on the stability of the table. This section of frieze also has areas of brushed-on light stain (in the manner usually associated with attempts to disguise or soften repairs but in this case without any apparent related repairs). The left side frieze also has cracks associated with the leg joint but more slight that those on the right side.

    There are bumps and minor repairs to the very ends of the satinwood banding at each rear corner and wear to the left end of the brass rail where it meets its support.
