Description:
This is a stunning quality antique English William IV figured solid mahogany round dining table, circa 1830, in excellent original condition. The table boasts a superb figured mahogany hinged circular top. The table retains its original working brassware, which consists of a sprung locking mechanism, operating a double latch on the underside of the table. This allows the top to be lifted vertically, for storage purposes. The table features a round tapering support pedestal, which terminates on a circular pedestal, decorated with a ring of egg-and-dart carving, punctuated by acanthus leaf carvings. The table rests on scroll & lion’s paw carved feet. This table is well-constructed, solid in joint and ready to use. Ideal for use as a dining table or a decorative table in a large foyer.
This style of table was called a “loo” table because wealthy ladies in grand houses during the Victorian period, played the card game ‘loo’ sitting around the table whilst taking afternoon tea, hence the name ‘loo table’.
The table can accommodate between up to six persons and is sufficiently tall enough to comfortably fit your legs underneath. It is also wide enough to accommodate serving dishes in the centre of the table.
The table boasts a rich brown mahogany colour. It has a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
This table would look superb in a variety of rooms, from the dining room to the drawing room, library or in a large hallway entrance. The table would certainly grace any home or office and is a great investment, as it is extremely functional. So, don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture.

Delivery times are usually 1-4 weeks depending on location; we aim to deliver the majority of items within 2 weeks. All items are professionally packaged and fully insured in transit; therefore, we can assure you, your items will be securely protected in transit and arrive safely with you.
Once you have purchased an item, we will contact you by email and/or telephone and provide you with a provisional delivery date, in order for you to confirm if it is suitable for you. Once you have confirmed you can accept delivery on the provisional delivery date, we will book the delivery in with our shippers and it then becomes a confirmed delivery date.
We will also provide you with our shippers’ contact details, in case you need to contact the driver on the day of delivery. It’s helpful if you can provide us with both the landline and mobile telephone number, in case the driver cannot reach you on one of the numbers on the day of delivery, they can contact you on your alternative number.
In order to be able to offer you free delivery, it is based on a 1-man delivery only. For any large items that require 2 people to lift the item, we ask that you are available at the time of delivery to be able to give our shipper a lift off the van and into your house with the item.
