A rare 18th century George III period mahogany ‘Spider Leg’ side table or drop-leaf table, in the manner of ‘The Dumfries House Cabinet-Maker’.
\nEnglish or Scottish, circa 1780.<\/p>\n

Why we like it
\nWe love the elegant simplicity of this table, the unusual thinness of its components, which lend this design a very delicate look.<\/p>\n

A number of related side tables in mahogany, attributed to ‘The Dumfries House Cabinet-Maker’, possibly Thomas Chippendale, was supplied circa 1760 to Lord Dumfries at Dumfries House, Scotland (illustrated). A further related table, distinguished by the superb quality of construction, is at Fenton House (NT 1448858).<\/p>\n

Thomas Chippendale supplied ‘Two neat Mahogany Spider leg Tables of good wood’ to Sir Edwin Knatchbull for Mersham-le-Hatch in 1768. A further related table at The Vyne, Hampshire was described in the 1776 inventory as a ‘spider leg’ table (see R. Edwards, The Shorter Dictionary of English Furniture, London, 1964, p. 553, figs 18 & 19).<\/p>\n
