Description:
This wonderful sold-mahogany demi-lune table was hand-crafted in Georgian England around 1820. Over the years, the mahogany has acquired a lovely patina that has come to enrich the wood's wispy grain and lustrous complexion. The strikingly beautiful mahogany is thick and solid, which in part explains why this piece remains so strong after two long centuries of use. This particular piece displays a unique history spanning several generations of English craftsmen, as it seems clear that the table once was only a one tier flip top but that later craftsmen (most likely in the late 19th or early 20th centuries) separated the two halves of the top to create two tiers. This is evident in the hinges that remain on the piece (see pictures below). The wood has sustained wear consistent with age, mostly in the form of a variety of stress marks, but these really contribute to the piece's antique charm. Because this is a two-tier piece, there is plenty of surface area for storing your items, and as a demi-lune this table would make a great side, end or hall table, perfect for any situation, while its simple yet elegant design make it an easy match! Don't miss your chance to make this gorgeous mahogany demi-lune table a part of your home today!
