Description

Overview

An exceptional Georgian mahogany sideboard by David Morley of Carmarthen - a noted Welsh cabinet maker active in the early 19th century - dating to approximately 1835. Constructed from finely selected mahogany with crisp ebony string inlay, this piece represents the late Georgian tradition at its most accomplished, firmly rooted in elegant restraint and moving toward early William IV character.

Key Features

Maker: David Morley of Carmarthen - noted Welsh cabinet maker, circa 1835
Finely selected mahogany with beautifully warm colour and confident grain
Crisp ebony string inlay framing the cupboard doors and drawer fronts
Central drawer flanked by a cupboard and a deep drawer
Original bottle drawer retained - a desirable survival
Slender turned legs giving lightness and architectural balance
Late Georgian tradition with early William IV restraint

Craftsmanship & Detail

The finely selected mahogany timbers display a beautifully warm colour and confident grain, enhanced by crisp ebony string inlay framing the cupboard doors and drawer fronts with complete precision. The practical and elegant layout - central drawer flanked by a cupboard and a deep drawer, with the original bottle drawer retained - reflects the thoughtful design characteristic of the finest provincial Georgian cabinet making. The slender turned legs give the piece lightness and architectural balance entirely in keeping with the late Georgian tradition. A versatile piece suitable as a dining room sideboard, serving table, or statement hall furniture in any quality period interior - and a rare opportunity to acquire a documented piece by a named Welsh maker.

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*
