FAQs

A looe table is a type of nineteenth-century English centre table specifically designed for playing loo, a popular card game of the period, typically characterised by an oval or circular top and a central pillar support.

These tables are traditionally constructed from solid timber frames, frequently faced with decorative veneers such as walnut or burr walnut, and often feature intricate boxwood or ebony stringing and hand-carved mahogany or walnut pedestals.

Authenticity is identified through period-appropriate construction methods, such as hand-cut dovetails, traditional beeswax finishes, natural timber shrinkage, and original brass or ceramic castors concealed beneath the feet.

An antique looe table functions effectively as a freestanding centrepiece in a spacious room, paired with upholstered dining chairs or left unadorned to showcase the figured wood grain and marquetry.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent veneer fading, and applying traditional beeswax polish periodically while avoiding modern silicone-based sprays.
