A very nice example of a George III period, shaped drop-leaf, large dining table in excellent condition, made from good quality solid mahogany and seating up to eight, with the four straight legs chamfered on the inside, two of the legs rotating 90 degrees outwards to support the large and shaped flaps. 

Lovely patination and grain.

There's plenty of height to the table, so it's comfortable to sit at - no squashed legs.

No repairs or restoration, with all original screws and hinges underneath.

This table has had a very easy life! It's been in the same family since 1910 - only being used on special occasions - and before that, it could have been at Ickworth House, see provenance below.

Provenance:

My father, Peter Harding of Quainton, Buckinghamshire, researched the table while researching and creating a family tree. He writes:

"The Bury St Edmunds Table.

Rhoda Smith, born 19th July 1880, at Fornham All Saints, Suffolk came to work as a Laundry Maid at Waddesdon Manor, Bucks. Here she met George Harding and they were married on 27th December 1905 at St James, Bury St Edmonds.

As part of setting up her home in Waddesdon she brought with her the two-leaf, mahogany table, which was always displayed with great pride in the family house. It is not known where Rhoda obtained this table from but it is thought it may have come from the Ickworth Park estate.

Rhoda’s grandfather, William Smith was a groom, when Henry, Rhoda’s father was born in 1851, suggesting that William had contacts with the estate. Rhoda’s mother, Martha was born in a village, Horringer that is close by, so in both instances, family members are likely to have connections with the estate.

When Rhoda died in 1974, her property was left to her unmarried daughter who lived at the house with her. Eventually, when this daughter died, the table was given to one of Rhoda’s sons Reginald. Reginald died in 1999 and his son, Peter has made the table available for sale.

Note: The National Trust website gives details about the owners of the Ickwork Estate. It would appear that around the time that Rhoda acquired the table many improvements were being made to the house and estate. Theodora, 4th Marchioness of Bristol (1875-1957), paid for settling debts and major improvements to Ickworth House. She was greatly concerned with the contents and had furniture and objects d’art restored.

Condition:
Excellent original condition, ready for another 200 years.

No repairs or restoration required, I've just given the top a wax polish.

Heavy, sturdy, not even a hint of a wobble to the legs, no movement or warping to the flaps.

No historic repairs or restoration was carried out, probably due to lack of use.

Some very minor historic blemishes to the surface and a couple of small historic ink marks to the centre section - see photos.

A small slither/splinter missing to the edge of one of the flaps, which I haven't restored as I like the patination that has built up on the surface there - see photo.

Dimensions:

Height: 72cm

Length (flaps out): 156.5cm

Depth: 122cm

With leaves down the length reduces to 48.5cm

Big Investment for a Lifetime of Quality
Color: Natural (Yellow-white Ivory), Size: 2' x 3' (Natural)
Several reviews mentioned a smell lingering with the sheepskin even after being unpacked a few days. I did notice the smell when I unpacked it, but I would expect a slight odor from such an item. It was not overpowering and is completely gone after one month of having it laid out on a chest in our bedroom. It is very functional, can be sat on, knelt on, etc, but is easily brushed off and looks great! The quality is very good…someone in my family is on it every night, and we have experienced no shedding whatsoever. Although the price is a big investment initially, I believe the quality is worthy. We plan to enjoy this beautiful sheepskin for a lifetime!

Love it, but terrible smell at first
Color: Natural (Yellow-white Ivory), Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Natural (Yellow-white Ivory), Size: 2' x 3' (Natural)
Really soft & my dog loves it. I used it as a throw over my couch for decor. The smell when I took it out of the package was probably one of the worst smells I’ve ever smelled. Like old broccoli or something. I left it outside to air out all day and that was gone.

Not premium quality! I've seen actual authentic ones before.
Color: Natural (Yellow-white Ivory), Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Natural (Yellow-white Ivory), Size: 2' x 3' (Natural)
Despite all the positive reviews, I believe this product is subpar. There are genuine sheep skin Hydes but this product is NOT it. There is no leather embossing showing authenticity, and many signs of strong chemical treatment. Smell is lingering and I've aired them for over two days. Not very comfortable since the fur is very thick and coarse, you would expect it to be softer for the price as well. Not premium quality. I ordered this for my children to sleep on at long evening Church services but now I will look to more niche sellers for a higher quality product.

⭐ Incredibly Soft Faux Rabbit Blanket That Feels Truly Luxurious
This faux rabbit blanket truly feels luxurious. The softness is incredible — it has that plush, velvety texture that feels amazing against your skin. It’s thick enough to be warm and cozy without feeling heavy or stiff. I’ve used it on chilly evenings, and it keeps me perfectly comfortable while still looking elegant draped over the couch. The color is absolutely beautiful and rich, adding warmth and depth to the room. It looks high-end and much more expensive than it is. The overall quality really impressed me, from the stitching to the density of the fabric. I would absolutely recommend it.
