FAQs

A fold over tea table is a piece of domestic furniture popular in the 18th century, designed with a hinged top that doubles in surface area when opened to accommodate social gatherings for tea or card games.

These tables were typically crafted from dense hardwoods such as imported Cuban or Honduran mahogany, often featuring secondary structural timbers like oak or pine, complemented by cast brass hinges and locks.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-cut dovetail joints, tool marks from hand planes, timber shrinkage patterns, period-appropriate hardware, and the natural oxidisation of the wood over centuries.

Placing the table against a wall in its closed position allows it to function as a console surface for displaying objects, while still offering the flexibility to open out as a central feature when entertaining.

Maintain antique timber by keeping it away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent splitting, and treat it periodically with traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone polishes.
