A fine quality Georgian early 19th century Mahogany Baby Pembroke Table, having well figured two flap top with Goncalo Alves crossbanding, over two drawers and two false drawers.

Having replaced brass knobs, raised on elegant turned legs, terminating on original brass castors.

Pembroke tables became one of the most popular pieces of furniture around the mid 18th century due to their versatility and plethora of different uses.

In fact George Hepplewhite himself actually described Pembroke tables as the most useful of tables and many references can be found to them in the literature of the time.

People such as Jane Austen even described them being used for dining at, or having papers kept in them to use them as a writing table,

There is even reference to them in other places as being used for ladies to do their embroidery at.

It is certain that they are incredibly versatile even in today's world and can be used for many, many different purposes.

The ability to use the two flaps to create significant variation in the size of the table top surface is certainly a popular feature.

This table is actually referred to as a "Baby Pembroke" table and this is due to the fact it is of course smaller in proportion than its full size siblings.

These are sought after tables which are so incredibly functional and suit such a huge variety of spaces and uses around the home.

This is a particularly attractive and good quality example of its type.

Circa 1800.

Height - 29in.
Width - 14.5in (flaps down).
