Object Description

Antique three pedestal dining table made of huge sheets of really fine quality Cuban mahogany. This table has it all, excellent colour and patination, a wonderful country house scale and outstretched legs which terminate parallel to the ground.

The three tops are made of six huge sheets of timber cut from the same piece to create a symmetrical grain pattern on each section. The edge of the top is double thickness the whole way around. This device is a specifically Irish construction method which increases the strength of the top and keeps the leaves from warping without the need for an obtrusive frieze. As with all tables that have no frieze, this one has plenty of knee room for tall guests.

Irish circa 1820 £58,000

Object History

Attributed to Mack, William and Gibton. Mack, William and Gibton were one of the most important Dublin furniture makers of the period. They supplied many of the important houses of Ireland. They were renowned for bold classical designs, crisp carving, use of the finest timbers and construction quality that was second to none. The firm of Mack, Williams and Gibton was formed around 1812 and flourished until the death of John Mack in 1829. The firm is famed for its use of finest timber and its quality of workmanship is comparable to the Lancastrian firm of Gillows.
