About this Item
A George II mahogany tea table, c. 1740
Notes
"Tea culture" in England began in the late 17th century with the importation of tea from the East and by 18th the century the tea table became an almost permanent addition to any home.
Having a tea table was a sign of exceptional taste as well as beauty. A fine piece of furniture, such as a tea table, was often the focal point for the entire social gathering and of course, it was also the perfect presentation for fine china and silverware.
