FAQs

A corner drop-leaf table, sometimes known as a handkerchief table due to its triangular shape when folded, is a space-saving piece of 18th-century furniture. It is designed to fit flush into a room corner with a hinged flap that lifts to create a square or diamond-shaped surface.

Tables from this period were predominantly constructed from solid mahogany or oak, featuring brass hardware for drawer pulls and hinges. The joinery relies on traditional mortise and tenon construction with hand-dovetailed joints inside any structural drawers.

Authentic Georgian pieces display hand-sawn timber marks on unexposed undersides, irregular hand-cut dovetails, and genuine age wear to the feet. Look for original brass drop handles, historic patination, and gate-leg mechanisms that operate smoothly on timber pivots.

Position the table in an unutilised room corner to add depth and warmth to the space. Top it with a modest table lamp, a ceramic vessel, or stacked art books, or open the drop leaf to use it as an occasional drinks table when entertaining.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth along the grain of the wood. Apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the timber, avoiding synthetic sprays, direct sunlight, and heat sources that cause wood shrinkage.
