Georgian Tea Fold Over Table Console Hall Side

An Exquisite Regency Period Flame Mahogany Fold-Over Tea & Games Table
A Symphony of Classical Proportion, Serpentine Elegance, and Historic Patina
Elevate your interior with this exceptionally handsome Regency Period Fold-Over Table, a masterful example of early 19th-century British cabinetmaking. Balancing neoclassical restraint with fluid grace, this versatile piece transitions effortlessly from a striking console table into an intimate tea or games table.

The table is defined by its magnificent serpentine-fronted silhouette, a highly desirable feature that lends a soft, architectural movement to the piece, catching the light beautifully from every angle.

Design Highlights & Fine Artistry
The Timber & Frieze: The table features a spectacularly figured flame mahogany frieze, showcasing a deep, shimmering ribbon grain that flows seamlessly across the serpentine front. The rich, warm honey-amber tones have mellowed exquisitely over two centuries.

The Fold-Over Top: The beautifully polished, book-matched top hinges backward, supported by a smooth-gliding gate leg mechanism to reveal an extended serving or playing surface.

The Elegantly Tapered Legs: The table stands upon four slender, square-tapered legs that typify the refined lightness of the Regency era. Each leg features delicate boxwood stringing details, terminating in elegant, original spade feet that elevate its sophisticated stance.

Condition & Collector’s Note
Signs of wear commensurate with age. Lacking beading to sides. Veneer losses to frieze.

Styling & Versatility
With its slim profile when closed, this piece is the ultimate multi-functional antique. It serves as an impressive hall console table dressed with a vase of fresh blooms, a sophisticated sofa table, or—when opened—a beautiful focal point for evening drinks, tea, or cards.
