19th-century solid mahogany table with a tilting top and brass mechanism.

Elegant tilting-top table made of solid mahogany, dating from the second half of the 19th century (circa 1850–1880). It rests on a central baluster-turned column ending in a curved tripod base. The square top with rounded corners features a superb grain of mahogany with warm and deep reflections. The original brass tilting mechanism allows the top to be positioned vertically for storage against a wall, characteristic of the so-called “tilt-top” side tables, which were very popular in the 19th century. Beautiful old patina. Signs of age consistent with its years (usage scratches, slight marks on the top). Structure is sound and stable. An elegant and timeless piece, perfect as a side table, guéridon, or end table. —— Additional information and photos available upon request.
