Condition Report

The table is presented in good antique condition commensurate with its age. The mahogany top retains attractive colour and patina throughout, while all ormolu mounts remain present and intact including the central figural mount, decorative wreath mounts, and leg collar mounts.

The shaped undertier shelf together with its brass gallery remains sound and stable, while the original castors are present and functioning correctly. As expected with a genuine antique piece of this age, there is honest age-related wear consistent with over a century of use, adding authenticity and character throughout.

Our house was built in 1820, so I have been slowly acquiring furniture from the same period. The piece is perfect & arrived very quickly too.

We purchased a table from Hawkins Antique and it is absolutely stunning and a mint condition! Delivery was very fast and the delivery team were fantastic and really went the extra mile to get the table into the house - it wasn't simple due to our narrow front door, but the guys managed to get it in, keeping the table safe along the way! Highly recommend - very happy! Made another purchase already!

We had purchased a walnut sideboard from this company. We are delighted with it and with the service. The sideboard - is in a very good condition, clean, as described and advertised. We found dealing with everyone in that company to be straight forward and helpful. I would not hesitate buying from them again! Highly recommended!!!

Bought a William Tillman table and chairs. We are absolutely thrilled with the purchase and the company was very understanding when we were having trouble with moving dates. They were extremely helpful and understanding. Items came well packed and dropped off by two nice chaps who moved everything into the house for us without any hassle at all. Absolutely no trouble in recommending Hawkins Antiques. Would give more than 5*
