The double folding demilune tops open to reveal a small space to store and lock away their tea. Tea was so valuable in parts of the 18th century, they locked away from the staff.
The top folding into a well faded circular serving top, left open for long periods to have such fade. Usually the top is far lighter than inside. The bowed front apron, retaining the original lock, with ogee-shaped mouldings, above the narrow turned tapered legs, terminating in a fine pad-foot.

This piece had been over restored long ago, so I slowly removed majority of the polish, then built a softer wax finish.

H.72cm W.36cm D.22cm
Diameter opened 36x35cm, due to shrinkage.

Note, the front leg is walnut, quite unusual, certainly defining the table and something you probably won’t see again.

C.1850

$3,200 Reduced by 50% $1,600

Perfect as an entrance table for a small apartment or for many spots in any home.

When opened you’ll notice the bowl of relaxing sleep tea (I have most evenings before bed, so relaxing) and a bottle of “alchemy” essential oil I burnt in my shop daily, so many customers loved the scent, so I on sold both and many other teas I drink, for my sister Maxine, she owns iBliss Australia, I often scent my apartment, I love the smell✨

The majority of pieces used to dress the top are for sale, text or call me for information.
