This exceptional Chippendale period serving table, dating from Circa 1720, is a fine example of early Georgian craftsmanship and is a rare and highly desirable piece of furniture. Expertly crafted from premium mahogany, the table stands as a testament to the skill and artistry of the period, offering a striking blend of elegance and practicality.

The table is in superb original condition, a remarkable find for its age. The surface boasts a rich, deep, and lustrous mahogany patina that has developed beautifully over the centuries, giving it an undeniable warmth and charm.

The table features a sleek rectangular top which sits upon four gracefully square, chamfered legs, which add a subtle yet sophisticated detail to the overall structure. The chamfering along the inner edges of the legs is a hallmark of early Chippendale design, contributing to its streamlined and balanced appearance.

One of the standout features of this rare serving table is its two hidden freize drawers, ingeniously incorporated into the front of the piece. These drawers, which are of solid oak construction, provide an added layer of practicality while maintaining the table’s elegant profile. The quality of the oak used in their construction is evident, with the wood showing signs of both durability and the meticulous attention to detail applied during their creation.

The original colour of the table, a warm, deep mahogany, has been beautifully preserved over time. The finish is rich and well-maintained, exuding an authentic, well-loved charm that only centuries of careful preservation can create.

It is truly rare to find such an early example of Chippendale furniture in this condition. As a period piece from the early 18th century, this table represents not only the craftsmanship of its time but also a piece of history that has stood the test of time. Its rarity and condition make it an exceptional addition to any collection of fine antique furniture.
