Outstanding Quality Large Antique Georgian Irish Mahogany 10 Seater Wake Dining Table

An outstanding quality large antique Georgian Irish mahogany 10 seater wake dining table, dating to the George III period circa 1780, of exceptional proportions, magnificent colour and remarkable original character. This splendid 18th-century Irish wake table boasts a beautifully figured solid mahogany top of generous oval form, displaying a glorious depth of colour, rich grain and superb patina acquired over more than two centuries. The magnificent top features two substantial drop leaves, supported by a traditional double gateleg mechanism, and stands on elegant square moulded legs. A particularly impressive example of Irish Georgian craftsmanship, combining the understated elegance of its design with the exceptional quality of the timber and the wonderful warmth of its original character. When fully extended, this magnificent table can comfortably seat up to 10 people, providing a splendid setting for formal dining, family gatherings and grand entertaining. The two leaves can also be lowered, transforming it into a remarkably compact and versatile piece when not in use. A truly exceptional and increasingly difficult-to-find example of an original 18th-century Irish mahogany wake table, possessing the magnificent colour, authenticity and timeless appeal so highly prized in fine Georgian furniture. A statement piece of considerable presence and distinction, equally at home in a grand country house, elegant period residence or sophisticated contemporary interior. Date: Circa 1780 Origin: Ireland
