Antique Pembroke Tables are a style of a small antique table first seen in the 17th Century but became more commonly used in the Georgian period. The antique Pembroke Table has small drop leaves on each side that can be opened and supported using small hinged brackets to create a larger table when needed. They are either rectangular or the slightly better models are oval in shape and can come with decorative inlays, including cross-banding or Shell centres. The variety of woods does vary on antique Pembroke tables from Mahogany, Rosewood and Satinwood and they will stand on very fine tapering legs with spade feet. The Pembroke table was named after the Countess of Pembroke who first ordered and commissioned this table in the late 17th century. This was reproduced by the famous furniture designers Chippendale and Hepplewhite along with Victorian and Edwardian cabinet makers. This is ideal table if you have limited space in your home because of their very practical proportions. They are ideal as a side table providing a home for a lamp but also very useful as an occasional table for afternoon tea. When extended they can make a small dining table for two to four people.

Malcolm Rankin,
I can always be sure that what I see in your sales brochures is what I actually get when it arrives ........ in other words I can buy online in confidence knowing that I will be just as delighted with the purchase when it arrives (which is always exactly on the date that you promise) as I was viewing and ordering it over the internet.
With kind regards

Glen Richards.,
Thank you very much for my BEAUTIFUL Victorian table! It it even better than the picture. I am thrilled to bits. The table exceeded my expectations! It is beautiful. There isn’t a mark on it! It is in perfect condition and much, much better than the picture and I am thrilled to bits with it. I have never done anything like this before so I was very worried, but once the incredible packing was removed I was overwhelmed with MY table, which fits perfectly in my small dining room.Thank you very much for the way the table is, was packed and delivered on time with the driver informing me when he was expecting to arrive, also giving his name. Would thoroughly recommend James Driscolls to anyone. Wonderful experience all round. Thank you again, Glen Richards.
