Object Description
A Good Quality Late 18th Century Mahogany Bowfronted
Serving Table Having Well Figured & Cross Banded Top Above
Three Frieze Drawers Retaining Original Brass Handles
Raised On Square Tapered Legs
(During the 18th century it was common to have both a sideboard
and a serving table in the dining room. Although very often similar
in design, in theory one was very much for serving from and the
other storage. Often the serving table would be slightly higher than
a normal side table to make it easy to serve from. This example is quite
unusual as it has drawers to the frieze which is relatively uncommon. It
is also a sweet size whilst still being big enough to serve a purpose and
be functional. It is excellent quality and has clearly been well looked after
and loved retaining a good colour and being constructed from nice
timber. It also retains its original brass handles which is another nice
feature and whilst originally made for a dining area it would suit a variety
of different purposes and spaces in both a modern home and older style
