A GEORGE III MAHOGANY SPIDER OR SIDE TABLE

English, circa 1760.

A particularly attractive mid-18th-century mahogany spider table, distinguished by its superb quality of timber and elegant proportions. The well-figured rectangular top above a shaped frieze, raised on four legs united by a stretcher.

The design is characteristic of the refined furniture produced in England during the early years of the George III period. A closely related mahogany spider-leg table was supplied to Dumfries House circa 1760, possibly by Thomas Chippendale, providing an important contemporary comparison for the present example.

PRICE: £2.800
