Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating in the Georgian era, a tripod table features a three-legged pedestal base supporting a circular or square top, designed to remain stable on uneven stone floors. Many examples feature a tilt-top or birdcage mechanism allowing the top to be folded vertically when not in use to save space.

These tables were typically crafted from solid timbers such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, joined using hand-cut dovetails and wooden peg joinery. The central stem was turned on a lathe, with three cabriole legs dovetailing directly into the base of the column.

Authentic 18th-century examples display hand-saw marks underneath the tabletop, irregular turned elements, and hand-cut dovetails on the underside birdcage block. Natural age-related shrinkage of the round top along the wood grain is also a key indicator of original period construction.

Position a tripod table alongside an armchair as an occasional drink stand or place it in a reading corner topped with a lamp and books. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for filling small nooks while adding rich wood tones to contemporary living spaces.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the timber. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and radiators to prevent the wood from warping or splitting.
