pair of george iii mahogany dining pedestals

Circa 1790, very unusual tall pair of George III mahogany and inlaid dining room pedestals. The tops are hinged and open to reveal an open section within, which could have been used for holding bottles or tureens. There is a circular inlay on the top, crossbanded with satinwood and ebony, and this occurs again on the front and on the large cupboard below in a larger oval shaped version. Between the top and bottom section there is a crossbanded inlay in the form of faux fluting. The bottom cupboard opens to reveal adjustable shelves. There is an ogee moulding beneath and the whole piece stands on an enclosed plinth. These type of pedestals would often come with a serving table in the centre, but could be used for display, statuary or lamps.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
