Full Description
This exceptional George III flame mahogany oval wine table dates to the late 18th century and stands as a refined example of English craftsmanship at its most expressive.
What truly distinguishes this piece is the quality and selection of its timber. Rather than the darker mahogany more commonly encountered, this table is crafted from a lighter-flamed variety—far rarer, more luminous, and visually dynamic. The oval tabletop is formed from a single solid plank, allowing the natural grain to flow uninterrupted across the surface. In an era dominated by veneered tops, this honest use of solid timber speaks to both confidence and skill.
The flame figure gathers and dances across the surface, producing an almost glowing, iridescent effect that shifts subtly with the light. Examples with this level of depth, movement, and preservation are seldom found.
Below, the central pedestal is beautifully baluster-turned, flowing effortlessly into a well-balanced tripod base. The inwardly shaped cabriole legs create a poised stance while maintaining visual lightness. For structural integrity, the original hand-forged cast iron plate remains discreetly fitted beneath—carefully contoured to mirror the leg geometry and secured with antique screws still in place.
Elegant yet purposeful, this wine table was designed for intimate use—holding glasses, decanters, or candles—but today it adapts effortlessly as a side table, lamp stand, or sculptural accent. It carries not only refined form, but a tangible sense of history and craftsmanship that elevates any interior.
