Victorian Mahogany Tilt-Top Pedestal Table

This is an antique pedestal table, likely dating to the mid-to-late Victorian era (circa 1860-1890). The piece is constructed from mahogany with a highly figured flame mahogany veneer visible on the deep apron of the tabletop. The design features a rectangular top with rounded outer corners and a thumb-molded edge. The top sits upon a substantial turned central bulbous pedestal, which is intricately carved with ring turnings. This pedestal is supported by a tripod base consisting of three cabriole or 'S-scroll' legs terminating in padded or scroll feet. The wood exhibits a deep, warm reddish-brown patina characteristic of aged mahogany. Regarding condition, there is visible surface wear consistent with age, including minor scuffs to the legs and patina loss on the base. The structural integrity appears solid, with significant craftsmanship evident in the balanced transition from the heavy apron to the ornate tripod base. No maker's marks are immediately visible in the provided image, but the quality of the veneer and the complexity of the pedestal turnings suggest a high level of 19th-century cabinetmaking.
