FAQs

Georgian tea tables emerged in the 18th century as social habits changed with the rising popularity of tea importation, requiring specialized furniture for domestic hosting.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid timber frames with figured wood veneers, featuring pegged joints, hand-cut dovetails, and delicate stringing inlay.

Authenticity is determined by examining timber shrinkage, hand-forged or brass hardware, secondary woods in drawer construction, and natural beeswax patination.

Pairing historical timber pieces with minimalist upholstery or contemporary lighting creates a balanced contrast that highlights the craftsmanship of the antique.

Maintain a stable room humidity away from direct heat sources, and periodically apply natural beeswax polish while avoiding silicone-based commercial sprays.
