English Georgian Style Table with Silverplate Tray
This wonderful mahogany tray table features its original silverplate tray and is believed to date from the late 19th or early 20th century. Table measures 28.5" wide, 23" deep and 24.25" high. Tray measures 32.25" long, 23.5" wide and 3.5" high. Scalloped shape table features acanthus raised foliage carved designs on each side, cabriole legs with raised leafy carved designs ending in raised scroll feet. Tray features chased and embossed decoration. Emblem in center features a horned deer or elk, helmeted knight, and ribbon with Latin inscription which has not yet been deciphered. The tray is a bit wobbly at one corner due to a crack. One edge (roughly 1/4" across) of the acanthus leafy design at one edge has been sheared off, and the acanthus leaf design on one side has been bent severely.
