English George II Queen Anne Lowboy Antique Chest of Drawers Writing Table c1740
Fine English George II Mahogany Lowboy Chest of Drawers Mid-18th Century. Probably c. 1740-60 Item# 130002KJJ18 This is an absolutely wonderful find for serious collectors of Period Georgian English furniture- an original George II Period Lowboy Dressing Table crafted during the middle of the 18th Century. Almost certainly between the years of 1740-60. A pure piece with no adjustments or alterations, this is a very fine selection for purists and those with a preference for utmost quality in their collection. The projecting top was reset during the 20th Century, probably the same time it was refinished in a brilliant french polish, the molded edge scalloped on both front corners to give great shape to a simply gorgeous single solid plank of golden mahogany. The front and sides of the case are joined into the legs with a glued tenon joint. ... moreAll three being single solid boards with gorgeous grain selections. The front apron is scroll cut with magnificent and highly robust form, giving emphasis to the bold projection of the cabriole knee, the resulting empty space purely architectural in form. Three small drawers slide smoothly in and out of the case above this apron, each dovetailed at the front beneath cockbead molding, the backs and bottoms of the drawers nailed with small rows of iron nails. The brasses on each drawer are replaced, though correct for the period. Stretching from the top to the top. The legs are crafted of a highly complex single plank of wood, transitioning from the square corners into the bold cabriole leg before terminating in pointy slipper feet. The back legs are octagonally chamfered. Lending a squareness and masculinity to the overall form of the table. The back of the case is a single solid plank of oak, the interior secondary structure mostly pine with some oak- it is complex interior structure, a series of pine battens nailed perpendicular to the case on both sides and doubly in the center, one with an original rosehead nail visible. This form was originally designed as a dressing tabl

English George II Mahogany Antique Side Game Table, Mid 18th Century, Petite
CHEST OF DRAWERS ANTIQUE CHAIRS TABLES BRONZE SCULPTURES FINE PAINTINGS SCHOOL OF ORIGIN SUBJECT LAMPS. LIGHTING ENGLISH GEORGE II MAHOGANY FLIP TOP TURRET TOP GAME TABLE Mid 18th Century Item# 1403NQP22PP Of positively endearing proportions. This petite little table is generally considered a game table while probably never having been used for this purpose- it is a presentation piece, meant to be displayed in a hallway or living space and enjoyed for it's great beauty and not necessarily it's function. However, it certainly was crafted with tea time in mind, being of perfect dimensions for enjoying tea service in the afternoon with company. Of note is the careful treatment of the top, whereby the edging of the entirety of both top and bottom leaves are flawlessly molded with the carved egg-and-dart design, making it actually more ... moreattractive in it's fully opened position and allowing it to be placed between two chairs in a living space. This form of presentation leverages the sheer presence of the top, both leaves of which are hewn from solid single planks of brilliantly grained mahogany. The top has enjoyed quite careful climate control, as solid mahogany tops are particularly susceptible to cracking along the grain and becoming rather unattractive- however, due to the shrinking, the leaves do have a slight warp and the glue blocks no longer affix the top to the frame. We can fix this upon request by steaming two glue blocks to release the hide glue, then using hide glue to reaffix those blocks to the frame, or we can leave it as is and offer a small discount for you to have the work completed by your preferred furniture specialist. The frame of the table is crafted of mahogany planks tenoned into the corners. The front of the table with a drawer set in the perfect center with a scratched bead molding around the edges in simulation of cockbead molding. It is a fine little drawer, crafted of golden oak secondaries with tidy dovetail joints joining the sides and the bottom nailed into rabbets along the

English George II Chippendale Walnut Ball Claw Antique Drop Leaf Table c. 1760
GEORGE II WALNUT DROP LEAF TABLE OVER BALL AND CLAW FEET England. Mid 18th Century, probably c. 1760 Item# 411BIR15P This table is noteworthy for it's very attractive size. The depth and quality of the patina and finish and the particularly handsome feet. Resting over handsomely carved ball and claws, each foot is full of life with the raptor talons stretching around the oblong sphere, the sharp nails cut with utmost realism as they scratch at the floor over the taunt tendons that extend through the leg of the foot. The two drop leaves and the top are crafted of solid planks of walnut(possibly a blonde mahogany finished in a lighter pigment, though the swirls of grain suggest walnut without doing any more specific testing) the edges of the top ruled to allow the leaves to easily lift over their original wrought iron untouched hinges and ... moresettle into place without a gap. These rest on gating legs, the swinging leg with an oak or elm secondary wood tenoned into the leg and pinned in place, rotating on an angular knuckle joint with a steel rod anchor. The frame is pine, dovetailed along the exposed gating edge and pinned in the stationary legs with later added blocking to more fully secure the joint. The result is quite effective, the table having remained in pristine condition after well over two hundred years of active use. It is particularly attractive as a console, stationed against the wall beneath a portrait or mirror in a hallway or side wall. However, it still remains a very practical and useful piece in it's original function, as a breakfast or gaming table that could be easily opened to entertain company and then put neatly away against the wall after the morning tea or evening festivities were complete. For any serious collector of fine English furniture, this is a pristine example with very minimal restoration and an absolutely gorgeous patina that will certainly be a cherished part of your collection for a lifetime. Measurements: 15 1/4" D x 36" W x 27 13/16" H when leaves are clos

Fine English George II Chippendale Mahogany Ball Claw Antique Game Table c. 1730
EXCEPTIONAL ENGLISH GEORGE II MAHOGANY BALL AND CLAW GAME TABLE With turreted corners. The top with candle holders and chip wells, remaining in outstanding condition England. C. 1730 Item# 411JPY15X This precious example of English craftsmanship is exquisite in every way- no expense was spared in what was almost certainly a commissioned piece. And clearly great care has been shown in the handling of the table over the last two hundred and eighty odd years. The top of the table is turreted to conform with the form of the apron, being planed from a single plank of handsomely grained mahogany. It lifts over original hinges on the sides to lower onto the rear legs, these pulling out of the frame on lopers to create a four legged table structure. The result is a very stable card playing surface, which probably accounts at least partially for the ... moreexcellent state of preservation we find in it today. The card surface is a green felt top(replaced and discolored) with candle holders on each turreted corner with four chip wells sunk into the top. Finally, the top also lifts over original hinges to reveal an interior compartment for storing games. The apron is veneered with vertical grained mahogany. The centermost with an original pierced brass escutcheon around the keyhole. The table is raised over bold cabriole legs with the most wonderful acanthus carving along the front knees- these carvings are deep and fluid, full of life and realism, both tapering into the leg which terminates in elegant carved claws grasping a sphere. The underside of the table reveals oversize blocking inside of the front legs with all returns original but one(rear left leg) For any serious collector of fine English antiques. This is an outstanding investment grade acquisition that in every way elevates whatever interior it becomes a part of. It is exceedingly beautiful and in very fine condition- it will certainly be a most cherished part of your collection. Literature: British Antique Furniture. John Andrews, p. 288- a very similar exam
