Antique Hall Tables, also known as an Antique Telephone Table was a long slim piece of furniture often similar to the console table in design but this stands on four legs and quite often will have one or two drawers in the front or sides. They were mainly built in Oak or Mahogany were produced in the Victorian and Edwardian periods often in the Arts and Crafts designs. Due to their slim, tall appearance, they are very useful and stylish, so can really be placed anywhere in the home but were originally only built to stand in a hallway. Furniture makers like Gillows of Lancaster and Maple & Co, specialised in such tables and often built them to the customers specification, but these are quite hard to come by as they are very sought after and collectable. These antique tables would look lovely either in a hall, ideal for keeping keys in whilst acting as a telephone table or even simply as a side table in a living space providing a home for a lamp and precious family photos.

19th Century Bow Fronted Antique Hall Table from the Regency period, circa 1830 and constructed from mahogany with the classic bow front design. The top has moulded edges with attractive string inlay around the perimeter. The bow fronted top sits above two oak lined drawers with decorative brass handles and boxwood string inlay decoration to the front. The table sits on elegantly turned legs and is the perfect size to sit at the side of a sofa, perhaps with a reading light? There is evidence, to the expert eye, that the top has been modified. This was quite a common practice during the Edwardian period when additional decoration was often added, as is likely to be the case in this instance. It has resulted in a beautiful table having classic Regency lines with practical proportions.
Oak Antique Telephone Table / Hall Table full of charm and character. The rectangular top has a moulded lower edge above a frieze drawer that displays cock beading and the original brass swan neck handles. The table stands elegantly on four tapering legs which still retain the original attractive pierced fretwork brackets to the hip (these often break over time so this table is quite rare still having them in place).
Antique Edwardian Inlaid Hall Table in the Sheraton design. It has a serpentine shaped top which has beautifully inlaid cross banding and a strikingly figured flamed mahogany oval central panel. The front has an unusual three over two drawer configuration all of which are mahogany lined, have cock beading and flow in a serpentine shape. The corners are canted and all sides are finished and shaped so it may be placed to the side of a sofa or in an open position.
