Antique Victorian Quality Solid Mahogany Sutherland Table

A truly beautiful item in lovely condition. There are some age related marks as shown. Please see one of the last photo for measurements.
This was professionally restored 20 years ago.

Compact drop-leaf table featuring a narrow center section and two deep leaves that hang down almost to the floor when closed.

It utilises a specialised gate-leg framework, where the slender, turned inner legs swing outward like a gate to support the leaves when raised.

The stationary center structure features two baluster-turned pillars connected by a low central stretcher for stability, resting on standard ceramic or brass furniture casters (wheels) for easy mobility.

Named after the Duchess of Sutherland in the 1820s, these space-saving accent pieces became highly popular throughout the 19th-century Victorian era for holding tea services or playing games in smaller sitting rooms.
Collection is from Enniskerry or Cabinteely.
