FAQs

A loo table is a large, circular or oval table dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, designed specifically for playing loo, a popular card game of the era. These tables often featured a tilt-top mechanism to save space when not in use.

They were typically constructed using a secondary softwood base covered in finely figured veneers such as burr walnut, rosewood, or mahogany. The top is usually supported by a central pillar resting on a carved tripod or quadruped base fitted with castors.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetails, traditional joinery, and natural ageing in the timber and polish. The grain patterns on burr walnut veneers should display book-matching symmetry, and the fixings should reflect period-appropriate screws and handmade nuts.

Placing a historic piece in a modern setting creates a striking focal point through contrast. It functions effectively as a grand centre table in a spacious entrance hall or as an eclectic dining table paired with minimalist modern seating.

Protect the delicate veneer by keeping the timber away from direct sunlight and heat sources, which can cause cracking and fading. Maintain the finish by dusting with a dry, soft cloth and occasionally applying high-quality beeswax.
