FAQs

A fly table is a lightweight, portable occasional table popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, often used for serving tea, holding books, or as a mobile bedside surface.

They are typically constructed from dense tropical hardwoods like mahogany, featuring turned central pedestals, tripartite or quadrupartite legs, and frequently incorporate brass castors for mobility.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the timber grain, hand-cut dovetails or joinery marks, wear patterns on the castors, and the patina developed over centuries of oxidisation.

It functions effectively as a versatile display surface or drinks table next to a sofa or armchair, introducing warmth, historical character, and clean vertical lines to a contemporary scheme.

Keep the timber away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, clean only with a soft, dry cloth, and occasionally nourish the wood with traditional beeswax.
