Photos here of a early 19th.c. mahogany pedestal centre table reduced in height to make a splendid large coffee table. Superb quality, the top is not only solid, rather than veneered, but is made of a single mahogany board of exceptional width and grain – testament to the quality of timber available to early 19th.c. cabinet makers. Beautiful condition, restored and repolished in our workshops.

Useful mid 19th.c. mahogany ‘cwpwrdd gwydr’ or glass cupboard c.1850. These were a late development of the Welsh dresser, produced for the parlour rather that kitchen and seem to be especially popular in North West Wales. Featuring a bookcase top with attractive arched glazed doors above a cupboard base with a large single drawer in the waist. Both top and bottom sections feature opening doors on the right and left hand sides whilst the centre panel is fixed (typical of the form). The turned columns and bone diamond shaped escutcheons are typical of furniture made on Anglesey at this time. Excellent condition, original throughout, keys supplied.
Dimensions: width 67″, depth 20″ (at base), height 87″.

Ingenious piece of metamorphic Victorian furniture for today’s blog. An elegant pedestal side table c.1880 with two hinged stands in the surface to hold books or music. The table top raises on a ratchet mechanism to make a duet music stand for two standing musicians. In addition the top also slides sideways to allow it to be used across a bed or chair. The usual timber is thuya wood with satin wood inlays and an ebonised coloumn.
