This is a Gorgeous George III Cuban Mahogany table c1760-80.  I have only been in the business 40 years and this is a stunner.  It is raised on square legs with chamfers to the inside and small quadrant moulding to the outside.  There is a single drawer with original handle and escutcheon and great patina.  The two leaves are held up by wooden supports underneath with the leaves being rounded in form.

When this piece was made General Cornwallis had not surrended at Yorktwon (1781), the battle of the Nile hadn't been considered (1798) and the Napoleonic Wars were not yet thought about, we were the greatest Empire on the planet from a little island in the Northern hemisphere.  What could this piece tell us about the world and ourselves.
