About the Item
A very good quality late 18th century, Georgian Sheraton period, mahogany Pembroke table, having well figured two flap top with inlaid strung decoration, over one frieze drawer, opposed by false drawer to reverse, raised on elegant square tapered legs, terminating with original brass castors.
Pembroke tables became one of the most popular pieces of furniture around the mid 18th century due to their versatility and plethora of different uses. In fact George Hepplewhite himself actually described Pembroke tables as the most useful of tables and many references can be found to them in the literature of the time with people such as Jane Austen even describing them being used for dining at, or having papers kept in them for use as a writing table. There is even references to them in other literature as tables which ladies used for taking part in embroidery at.
It is certain that they are incredibly versatile even in todays world and can be used for many, many different purposes. The ability to use the two flaps to create a significant variation in the size of the table top surface is an incredibly useful and functional feature.
This particular pembroke table is stylistically typical of the late 18th century design, with the elegant square tapering legs. The timbers used are of a high grade and the overall construction is certainly very good, hence it has survived with very little damage of consequence. We think it would be the perfect, useful, functional and elegant addition to any home.
As with all our items this georgian table has been attended to by our skilled, traditional antique furniture restorers, who have ensured it is ready to be placed immediately into the home.

A Very Good Quality George III Period Mahogany Sofa Table, Of Rare Diminutive Proportions, Having Well Figured Rectangular Top Having Drop Flap To Each End, Over One Long Drawer & One False Drawer To Reverse With Replacement Brass Handles, Raised On Square End Supports With Elegant High Stretcher And Four Sabre Legs Terminating On Original Brass Castors.
This chamring little sofa table is of really unusual size, the kind of proportions which we have rarely come across before, but those proportions are absolutely great for both function and elegance. It is just about small enough to not dominate the centre of a room, or even to just tuck into a corner, whilst at the same time retaining a little presence.
Its constructed from good quality mahogany timbers and instead of the two drawers at the front which is more commonly found on its full size counterparts it has just one elongated drawer and of course another false drawer to the reverse.
Sofa tables were relatively commonly found throughout the 18th and 19th centuries and as the name suggests they were originally designed to sit behind a sofa, although a common misconception is that they were meant to butt right up against the sofa itself.
Actually they were normally designed to sit a few feet away from the sofa, hence the false drawers on reverse. That said they also look quite happy pushed right up against the back of a sofa and are such useful, versatile items of furniture.
