Early George III Pair Of Mahogany Bedside Night Tables (England, circa 1760)
A Superb Quality, Very Attractive, And Extremely Well Matched, Pair Of Mid 18th Century, Early George III Period Mahogany Bedside Night Tables, Or Tray Top Commodes, Retaining Superb Rich Colour And Patina Throughout, The Elegantly Carved And Well Figured Gallery Tops Above Up And Over Cupboard Doors, With Converted Pull Out Drawers, Raised On Square Chamfered Legs.
An exceptional example of the sterotypical Georgian tray top commode, or bedside night table, this fabulous pair of tables have clearly been well loved and cherished throughout the many years of their lives. As is very common they have, at some point in their history, been matched into a pair, however unlike the vast majority of matched pairs which you will find, there are very few discernible differences between the two without extreme close inspection.
For reference, the main differences which we have been able to find is a difference in the size of the handles for the doors, a chunkier finish to the roundel decoration on the corners of the top and also one is half an inch deeper than the other. We do in fact wonder whether these were made by the same craftsman, in the same workshop, but at slightly different times such is the similarities of them.
This form of bedside table continues to prove extremely popular for a whole host of reasons, including the fact they are so sturdy when compared to more traditional, smaller bedside tables. They also offer a large amount of storage and the tray type tops mean it is much less likely that anything placed on the tops will get accidentally knocked over.
As with all the items which we offer for sale this pair of bedside tables have been inspected by our highly skilled, traditional antique furniture restorers and received a natural wax polish before being offered for sale, meaning they are ready for immediate placement within the home.
