Elegant Edwardian Console Table with Drawers

Once a mainstay in almost every home, console tables were positioned at a central point, a spot for assembling every-day items until you next left the house. Often found in the hallway, landing or entrance hall, it’s where keys were left and where the telephone resided. These days, with our rooms becoming more open-plan and multi-functional, the role of the console table has transitioned to an occasional piece for any room, ideal for a lamp, plants, books and display. This is a particularly handsome and neatly proportioned Edwardian console featuring two drawers, sitting on long elegant legs with its original brass rings handles in place.

Description

This original, vintage table is ‘sold as seen’. Overall, it is in good, used condition. It has been checked and cleaned inside and out, and a natural beeswax polish applied to the external wood but otherwise the finish is original. As you can see from our photos, the table top, which has a lacquered, high gloss finish, has some sunlight fading, light scratches and superficial scuffs, in line with its considerable age and function. In the overall context of the piece this isn’t a deal breaker. The drawers slide with ease, are wonderfully made with dovetail joints and have clean, tidy interiors. The brass handles are original and securely attached. It comes with working locks and a key. The table is well made, solid and with no wobbles or joint concerns.
